I have this Corgi USMC M48A3 Patton named "Eve of Destruction" and has a fire-breathing dragon and "23" on the searchlight cover.
Does anyone know what Marine unit this Patton belongs to?

This critter was standard issue to 1st and 3rd Tank Battalions ,U.S.M.C.,RVN.Some of 3rd Tanks were returning north to 3rd MAR DIV when Hue City was overrun.They stuck around to lend a hand.Every tracked and wheeled crew served weapon would be given a moniker.Alas, can't help out with your model...sorry.
