leigh kitchen Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 I would imagine so, these ones were certainly being used in 2003 / 2004, members of the group, which wore military uniform oddments such as berets & camo smocks would go out in teams & recruit in the jungle / mountain districts, charging new members $1 - $2 ( a lot of money to people living on nothing or a couple of dollars a day) & issue one of these patches.
