Got this jacket today morning. I'm Belgian, but trust me this is just very rare to find one full patched...This jacket had been used by a Belgian paracommando in Liban (he has the UN insignia on his shoulder - and not the ISAF insignia they wear in Afghanistan).
Belgian uniforms are just rares for many reason :
- we have a small army
- only a small part of this small army go in foreign countries for combat / peacekeeping operations
- Belgian soldiers receive only 4 uniforms, and they can't have any additional. If one of their uniform is too used (,...), they have to bring it back and then they received a new one. But this is a trade.
