    Question Badge id.

    I've made some research but can't find anything (unit, era, etc.) on this badge ( the cross)
    maybe is there any specialist around here..
    BTW it's from Iraq.

    That emblem looks suspiciously like the Afrika Korps emblem to me... the palm tree inside the iron cross...

    Chances are that is its a locally produces badge. Possibly for some Iraqi unit. The threadwork looks decidely, dodgy.

    The camouflage in the first picture looks like ISOF camo.

    I suspect it's a team patch from C/1-10 SFG given to a partner Iraqi ISOF unit.

    I concur. I was merely a REMF but we occasionally interacted with Special Forces and their trainees on my first deployment and that was the camo their Iraqi soldiers wore. I asked and I think they said they were old Lithuanian or Latvian Army uniforms...some European nation beginning with an "L". Latveria, maybe?

    In fact you asked about this same patch in March 2010 here: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums...-thread/page17 post 245 and in 246 you got the answer.
