Hi natal01, the shoulder patch in the center and upper right are for the Israeli Nahal Brigade.I have included some info on this, better than a long explanation

Thanks for the reply. The link was very helpful.
Have you any idea how I can Identify the other patches ? I am trying to catalogue ( and give some rough value ) a small collection of what look like pretty good examples. I have tried finding dealers lists for this sort of thing with little sucess ( other than the usual dealers in fakes ). Any suggestions ?

Strongly suggest you track down some Israeli military books - there are quite a few around - and study the pictures. Of course, you could always go the Israel itself. There isn't that much Israeli stuff around here.

Hi natal01. Regardless of your view on the Middle-east situation, you must understand that Israel is not too willing or keen in giving any informations on their armed forces, outside the official channels. Also, the IDF may/must change their badges when they become too well-known to the enemy to keep them guessing. Even if you were to find a load of those, who are you to ask to identify the patches? The embassy.....I don't think so.
I have enclosed some informations on the subject and also two commercial websites that will give you a"leg up" in this domain.
Hoping this will help you.
