Several Unknown Patches - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Can anyone help identify the following patches pleae? Most are Middle East, I think, but towards the end, some may be African. In the Middle East ones, there may be ones from Jordan, Bahrein and Oman.
I shall be most grateful for any identifications, as I know that many members are knowledgeable in patches from many countries.

Hi Badger, The black shield in the top row is an arm badge for Zimbabwe Army,

should be worn as a facing pair.

Blekinge (Ph.5) is Swedish, I believe local/municipal police.

Ph.2 #4 I'd suggest is from Oman.

Ph. 4 #1 looks like the Zimbabwe bird to me.

Ph.4 #3 shows the outline of Libya with the post-Ghaddafi flay.

Hope this helps

Graham

Many thanks for your comments gentlemen. They are very helpful. I assume the one you both say is Zimbabwe is the national arm patch worn by all its soldiers?
Is the one from Libya also a national arm patch, do you know?
I look forward to any other identifications that anyone can give me.

I don't I'm afraid, I just recognise the flag and country outline. Should I ever visit there again I'll check up for you.
