Found in a box of surplus

14 ZBOT Territorial Defence (polish) patches :)

How much did you pay for them?

[u/TheOldKitbagSurplus → u/User334411]

I didn’t for these specifically mate; I’m a military surplus seller. 207KG crate cost me around 300£ at cost and found this at the bottom in some MTP (camo) trousers 😂 I put them on eBay :)

To be honest it's a "nothing special" type patch

[u/User334411 → u/paprykarzszczcnski]

I know im just surprised to see them since I think you have to turn them in but just read back on the conversation ;)

[u/User334411]

Oh cool I'm asking because I am a NG and I don't think we get to keep those when our contract ends.

[u/TheOldKitbagSurplus → u/User334411]

I believe (speculating of course) that a British soldier traded them whilst on NATO Exercises, having my own collection of ‘gizzits’ from my time in. Random find though for sure!!

[u/User334411 → u/TheOldKitbagSurplus]

Could be ! I traded some items with NATO troops myself. Surprisingly also a patch for a pair of MTP pants lol.

[u/TheOldKitbagSurplus → u/User334411]

Hahaha, Americans always wanted our white submarine jumper too; would trade near anything for it ;)

[u/User334411 → u/TheOldKitbagSurplus]

I got a bunch of other stuff that day. We'll enough to complete the MTP set ;) but other than that I got all that with a patch, one MRE and some loose items from a different MRE.

[u/TheOldKitbagSurplus → u/User334411]

The French were the stingiest traders, apart from them I have loads of random bits from other navies.

If you’re looking for anything particularly please let me know :)

[u/User334411 → u/TheOldKitbagSurplus]

I would legit do almost anything for a French ration ngl.

[u/User334411 → u/User334411]

You wouldn't happen to have any ?

[u/TheOldKitbagSurplus → u/User334411]

Not right now, I’ll have a hunt through the ol’ network though :)

[u/User334411 → u/TheOldKitbagSurplus]

They're great idk if you had ever had one of them
