Author	Topic: Collecting military and NRO space patches
SpaceBird New Member Posts: From: Registered:	posted 02-16-2008 09:32 AM I collect Collecting Nat'l Recon. Office patches. Apart from watching eBay, I was wondering if anyone out there is a good source for them. While authentic patches as opposed to replicas are preferable, replicas are all right provided they are accurate and identified as such.

I'm not necessarily looking for vintage emblems, just intriguing patches in the best condition possible. I've found quite a few on eBay, but my schedule and Web access sometimes make bid auctions problematic and time-consuming. I'd like to find someone with set prices and with whom I can deal directly. Any suggestions/recommendations?
