Panama Defense Force Macho De Monte Unit Patch 1989 Invasion

After Operation Just Cause I was able to obtain a large collection new old stock of PDF items, mostly insignia, that was captured in 1989/1990 in a supply room.

There were many company and battalion sized PDF units who stood and fought.

This is not a dress patch. The PDF wore colored patches on their camouflage uniforms in 1989 just like the US Army wore colored patches on all OD uniforms from the 1950s to late 1960s.  They were transitioning to subdued patches at the time of the invasion but mostly wore full color.
