    I found this one yesterday at the militaria show here in Belgium. This is for the desert uniform, but I don't know the unit...looks like a patch for the Etat-Major (Headquarter) but nothing certain...

    Two Belgian SF-related patches. The first one worn by SF personnel training Iraqi SOF. I posted the picture in grey to prevent seeing fakes show up all over ebay.
    The second patch is of the training center in Jordan where Belgian SF and other nations train.
    Both patches have velcro on the back.

    The boar is a wild animal in "les Ardennes" area, in southern Belgium and as such utilized as the symbol of the Chasseurs Ardennais unit. More about this unit here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasseurs_Ardennais
