This is an Iraqi Military Police Command Headquarters arm patch. It is machine made with a merrowed edge with the standard "pigtail thread"on the reverse. It is 4.18in. wide and 4.125in. high. This patch was made by a different country outside of Iraq. At the present time it is unknown by which country. This patch was purchased by me in 2001 from my friend in Iraq.

The MPHQ patch was used from 1980 and is still being used today.
