Description: This is a rare, U. S. Army 1993 issue, (First issued January 6, 1993) U S Army 229th Aviation Group (Airborne) Flash, (~2-1/4" high by 1-7/8" wide) 100% Embroidered, with Merrowed border and standard issue plastic backing, in brand new (never issued) direct from government contractor condition. What you see is what you get.This flash was produced, on a government contract, in 1993 for the The Institute of Heraldry as a sample by Best Emblem (Denmark Military) at their Eveready Embroidering factory. This sample and the design was approved, and authorized for wear, by The Institute of Heraldry. What you see is what you get. Note: This is one of my insignia that Barry Jason Stein photographed and used in his book U.S. Army Patches Flashes and Ovals; and is pictured on plate #78 as item #38, now you can have this insignia in your collection. The United States Army Institute of Heraldry, also known as The Institute of Heraldry (TIOH), (from 1918 to1960 as the Heraldic Program Office) is a Department of the Army that furnishes heraldic services to all the U. S. Armed Forces, U. S. government organizations, NASA, including the Executive Office of the President, in the development, standardization, quality control, and approval of all symbolic items, such as unit insignia, badges and awards. Samples are required for final approval, and are made by contract to various authorized manufacturers. In the case of embroidered insignia, the standard machine run of 280 pieces, far exceeded the TIOH contract, and are produced at a loss by the contractor. Therefor most authorized manufacturers didn't bid on these contract, since the only advantage was to have stock on hand if the item was approved. H. J. Saunders U. S. Military Insignia, Inc., being America’s Largest Retail Insignia business was in a position to purchase all contractors over-runs. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE NOTE: I will combine shipping cost. Nice insignia for any collection. What you see is what you get. Having sold my U. S. Military Insignia business (H. J. Saunders U. S. Military Insignia, Inc. - America's Largest Retail Insignia business) after 35 years, in November 2003, I am now selling my personal collection, many of which are government contractors samples, accumulated over the last 50 years.
