Elite Sayeret Nahal Paran / 931st Battalion IDF Pin.
Elite Sayeret Nahal Paran / 931st Battalion IDF Pin.
**A rare and highly collectible piece of Israeli military history – the official heritage insignia of Sayeret Nahal Paran and the 931st Infantry Battalion.**
This vintage pin originally served as the symbol of the elite Nahal Reconnaissance Unit "Paran" (Sayeret Nahal) until 1976.
Following a structural reorganization that year, it was adopted as the official emblem of the 931st Infantry Battalion, which it proudly carried until the modern Nahal Brigade was officially established.
**Historical Background:**
From 1976 until the formal creation of the integrated Nahal Brigade, the 931st Battalion operated under a unique and prestigious dual-command structure.
Administratively, the battalion was attached to the central Nahal Command (Pikud HaNahal), while operationally and tactically, it was deployed under the "Hiram" Regional Brigade (769th Brigade), defending Israel’s critical northern border.
This pin carries the deep legacy of Israel's early elite infantry forces and border defenders.
