South Vietnamese 5th Inf. Div pocket patch?

I have just bought this patch as part of a grouping of s.o. who was part of the RVN 5th Infantry Division.
Does any one know more about it?

Thanks.

Your patch is that of President Thieu's personal bodyguards, worn on the right pocket.

Thanks a lot Rolfi! That is great news !
I see that you are also on the US military forum on topics about the SVN patches. Do you recommand some documentation? I am looking for books about SVN patches but I can't find any...

Thanks.

Cecil Smythe's booklets are a good place to start; try abe.com; you may get lucky. If you've got any specific questions I'll help out if I can.

Cheers
