About Blindbat Militaria
A curated archive and store for rare Vietnam-era military patches — built on authenticity, research, and respect.
Blindbat Militaria is a curated archive and store dedicated to rare Vietnam-era military patches, with an emphasis on theater-made insignia produced in-country during the war.
The name
"Blind Bat" was the radio callsign of USAF C-130 flare missions that worked the Ho Chi Minh Trail after dark. The name nods to that nocturnal, jungle-edged chapter of the war — and to the macabre, torch-lit iconography these patches so often carried.
Authenticity & respect
Every entry is photographed in detail and researched for unit, era, theater, and construction.
