    This is original and AUTHENTIC. The original owner was then Brigadier General John Freund, who
    was, at that time, the U.S. Army Assistant Director JUSPAO (Joint US Public Affairs Office), in charge of all US and ARVN military psychological warfare operations in Vietnam (1965-1966).  Some information about Major General Freund is available on wikipedia.
