Patch trading request.

Christophe · 11-07-2008, 16:43

Hi all,
as you can see in my profile, I am a LEO.
I collect patches, pins and baseball-style hats of LE units (federal, state and city) from all over the world. My preference is tactical, street crime, narcotics units.
If anyone is a fellow LEO here and interested in a trade (my dept patch or Belgian police hat), feel free to pm me.
THE patch I am still looking for, on top of my list, is the FBI HRT patch.
Thank you,

Christophe.

They're $12.99 + $2.99 shipping on e-Bay. Maybe he'll trade for something.

Sir, thanks for the info.
However, 99% offered on the web (and trade fares here) is fake imo.
You can compare it to SOG RT patches of which you have tons on Ebay.
I prefer trading directly with unit members like I have done with a QP that now works as a LEO, on this board.
It is the only way to be 100% sure you have the real thing.
Some of my US patches (including USSS, FBI and Air Marshall) I obtained by meeting these officers/agents during common ops like the latest Pres.Bush visit, the others I got by contacting the LEO´s by email.
Regards,

Christophe.

I have exchanged our patch with Christophe and I have to agree with him that it is better to get it from someone you know from somewhere than getting it on E-bay. They then are morelikely to be real and you can have a story with each.

Bryan sir,
thanks for the support.

If you are ever this side of the pond, lemme know, drinks (and more) are on me.

Take care & be safe,

Chris.
