I got an old shirt from a buddy of mine that I lost contact with. He used to be a gunship pilot in RVN. The shirt has a patch of and eagle with upswept wings (kinda like when they've just swooped in on some prey and are grabbing it in their claws) in front of a sword pointing upwards. Is this from the 173d Airborne? His call sign was "Tiger Surprise."
I am not a patch guy but it may be one of the helicopter units. I think they were the falcons but not sure. Your best bet is to get a picture up on one of the message boards dedicated to insignia. It is out of my knowledge area, sorry.
