bmsm Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 Interesting stuff - do you collect these or are they more along the lines of souvenirs? Swapsies or trophies from bar room brawls? I have purchased all my patches from a contact in Iraq and usually get an extra. There are a lot of different patches coming out of Iraq now. Police items aren't my main hobby but I liked the different patches so just invested in a few. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmsm Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 The Iraqi SWAT ( special weapons and tactics) patches which I have posted above and any future ones is not exactly a police troop but a unit which is part of the Ministry of Interior Forces. The Ministry of Interior is responsible for policing and Border Control in Iraq. The MOI consists of several departments including Police Service, Highway Patrol, Traffic Department, Emergency response Units, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, and Department of Border Enforcement.

Mervyn Mitton Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Bob - your continuing posts still amaze me with the sheer number and variety of the badges. I see the latest ones are featuring a lion - does that mean that the 'dead chicken' symbol, went out with Saddam ? Sorry - I think I should qualify that comment. The earlier ones really did look like a chicken - or at least I thought so - however, the eagle was much better on the later ones.
