I'm not an Iraqi collector but, I buy a lot of groups from vets. I got this in a grouping from a 25th ID guy. He traded Iraqi soldiers stuff to get these. Really cool Iraqi Patches not sure if there rare or worth much but, I think there cool. I guess I have an instant collection now.Most of them are really worn just couldn't capture that much detail

I'm not sure about their rarity, but that is an awesome collection of patches! I recently bought 4 from a 28th ID veteran and they all had the same crude stitching.

Considering the number of new patches being made simply to sell to collectors on ebay, this is a really nice used set of patches with provenance. Still worth a pretty penny. Tom

Tomas is correct; I have several of these patches and all are brand new. Does not get much better than used purchased from a vet. Thanks Clete
