    The main thing is the pattern in the embroidery, the other is the colors. Look at the 48th Guns and compare it to the picture I posted. No green streaks in his hair etc. the other is the 361 AWC no color, I'd say by looking at these that most are fakes. They just don't look right. the embroidery pattern of the skulls on most of these patches are wrong. there are some that I'm not sure about, if I had pictures of the backs would help.

    48th Guns
    128th
    HMM 164
    361st
    To be honest the rest don't look right either because of the way there trimmed. It would be hard to find these in one group unless the person who had them was a long time collector. Most of these if original are hard to find and some rare. Not likely to find all originals in one group like this.

    VN patches are a real mine field. I got burned on some that I bought a couple
    of years ago.
