Modified DBDU shirt from 1990. Rare piece I have seen very few "choc-pic" shirts with modifications.

I'm collecting militaria since 2000-01 and I can assure that I can count on the fingers of one hand how many DBDU shirts I've seen that. I'm not a big fan of choc-pic camo but since I've seen pictures of SOF operators (most of them in Desert Storm) with this type of shirt now I give them more value. Seeing how rare they are maybe I should not have sold the second shirt..
I also think that the first shirt might belong to an AFSOC operator (PJ, CCT or STS). Velcro on the chest could be to put the USAF nametag as was so common in the time.
Just curious mate...did you pin on the now discontinued subdued NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE/TRIDENT badge on the DBDU?Anyways,here`s a scan from the book US Navy SEALs Americas Toughest Commandos by Samuel M Katz published by Concord Publications Company 1993.Col Kurtz wrote:DBDU shirt with BUD insignia in the chest from 1983. I have not seen another like it.
