Vietnam Era 60s 70s US Military MACV HQ Headquarters Commandant Plaque

Description

This Vietnam Era 60s 70s US Military MACV Headquarters Commandant Plaque is in very good condition overall and only shows expected signs of age and storage. The plaque is clearly inscribed "US MILITARY ASSISTANCE COMMAND VIETNAM LTC G. C. ARMENTROUT, USA HEADQUARTERS COMMANDANT." The badges representing the individual forces are clean and their colors are vibrant. Of note, the 7th Air Force badge could denote the time period in which this was made. The 7th Air Force was operating out of Tan Son Nhut Air Base from 1966 until 1973, the same time period that MACV used this base as their headquarters. The mirror-finished metal backing is clean and only shows light signs of handling, though the top two fastening nails display a modestly detectable amount of "play." The wood backboard is clean and free of any signs of damage or abuse. Please examine the photographs carefully for the best description of condition.
