Bush Market round two

Posting what is likely the last batches of patches. These are from Bush Market in Kabul. The used ANA and CDO patches are from a contact who works in the department responsible for collecting used uniforms and issuing new ones. He cuts off the patches and sells them to me. I also have picked up half a dozen woodland camo CDO uniforms from the same source. Unfortunately, they all have the insignia cut off. In the first pic, the ICE patch was not from on the economy but purchased on a camp. My contact brought in a small trashbag of random patches. I haven't seen the TAAC north or purple CEXC patch before. The Bevo weave GDPSU patch is really cool and I have asked who can make that style of patch. Too bad I only have a week left.

Great patches, David! Got an extra one of that NIU patch? It's been on my want list for a while.

Fred,

I do and it is yours for a very reasonable fee if you can tell me what this unit is and its background. I haven't seen it before.
David

I'll PM, David. You'll be surprised.

Fred, Thanks for the information and the ID.
