    Believe it or not....the Afghan NDS is wearing/using a dark tiger stripe uniform. I am enclosing a link to an article discussing this.

    This picture also shows the dark tiger in use by the NDS. Very rare pattern.

    I was talking to a former SF buddy of mine,who is now a contractor in various desert locales. He confirmed this is the pattern they are using. He said he THINKS the uniforms are being made in Pakistan.

    This uniform is void of any marks excpet for a tag in the neck area that says "L". I have another ANP uniform that is marked the EXACT same way. Also, the sewing construction on the uniforms are identical.

    John,
    Ummmm.....that is not Iraqi at all. That is the new camouflage uniform for the Afghan National Civil Order Police (ANCOP). GREAT piece.

    No worries, John!!!! That is a very rare piece. Much rarer than the ANA digital. Speaking of which, I will send you a pic later of something very interesting. Very Happy

    Here is a photo of the Afghan digital camo being worn by a USSF soldier in Afghanistan. This photo is from Kevin Maurer's book "Gentlemen Bastards".

    Ben, I think he is actually the author of the book. Check out the body armor. It looks like it is without hard plates.
