    Received this patch from a friend who just returned from Afghanistan. Came from one of the shops at Bagram. Red V with OD banner and 41. As far as the white object at the top center? Your guess is as good as mine. Closest thing that I can make out is it looks like an anvil! The patch is mounted on black velcro.

    Any thoughts regarding identification would be most appreciated!

    I know that some SF ODAs use the anvil as part of their insignia(unofficially of course)sometimes. I have seen it on a few pieces such as this shirt of mine:

    Thanks guys for the good leads and information. The ODA-541 as a possible identification seems plausible. After SkronkyKong's post I wondered the same. Checking with a friend now in 2nd Battalion, 5th SFG(A) to see if we can get this confirmed.
