Could not find the older thread - so starting afresh.
Please id some of the unidentified patches/badges
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/Temp/Div-1.jpg
Top: 12 Div, Unidentified Div, Unidentified Div
Middle : "Mace" Div - "Swords" Div, 20th Div (Kirpan)
Bottom : 3 Inf Div, 19 Div, 18 Div
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/Temp/Div-2.jpg
Top : 15Div, 2 Div, 39 Div (Dah)
Middle: "Ace of Spades" Div, 17 Blackcat Div, 7 Div (golden arrow)
Bottom: Unidentified Div, 8 Mtn DIv, 22 Mtn Div (Ram)
http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/Temp/Corps-1.jpg
top: Un Identified Corps, XVI Corps, Southern Army Command (Pune)
Middle: Air Force Station Lohegaon, XI Corps, I Corps,
Bottom: Unidentifed Corps (Printed)
Most of the Unidentified Div badges can be identified - I just need to find one of my reference books. The only Div bdges i dont have an id are the Mace and Swords Div.
Rakesh, please use em on Army pages as required.
Also, the first unofficial 'ribbons' for a yet to be announced 'Op Parakram Medal' are out on the market.

Jagan,
That AF Stn Lohegaon badge does not seem to be the right identification. It looks like it has something to do with Engineers since the logo is similar to the one used by the Corps of Engineers. It must be the formation sign of College of Military Engineering.

And the unidentified Corps at the bottom is 3 Corps. But the first one really puzzles me. Could it have something to do with the strategic command?

Aman,
you are right - the AFS Lohegaon could be the CME. I never for one heard of Air Force personnel chaps having Div Sign type patches - but the guy who gave these things was so adamant that it was worn by "air force chaps in pune"...
Any luck with the div patches?
