"Shimshon" regiment old Tag

Official IDF "Samson" (Shimshon) Infantry Battalion Vintage Shoulder Insignia (1989-2005) – Collector's Edition

Short Description:
An authentic, vintage military shoulder unit tag of the legendary Samson (Shimshon) Battalion—offered exclusively as a rare historical collectible (no longer in active military use).

Originally operating under the historical "Chirmach" (Mechanized Infantry) framework, this battalion was specifically designed for complex counter-terrorism, urban warfare, and security operations.

A prized addition for military memorabilia collectors, historians, and veterans of the unit.

Historical & Operational Background:
For many years, the Samson Battalion's primary operational sector was the Gaza Strip, where its troops specialized in high-stakes urban combat and complex civilian-population interfaces.

Upon the reorganization of the IDF's independent infantry battalions and the establishment of the Kfir Brigade in 2005, Shimshon was officially integrated into the new brigade (now operating as the 92nd Battalion).

This specific badge captures the original pre-Kfir design, carrying decades of intense battlefield heritage.
