Recently purchased a Dragon die cast M1A2 belonging to 4ID in Iraq 2003, does anyone know which specific unit within 4ID it belongs to? Have looked on the 4ID website and the only two units that were equiped with the M1A2 were 1/67 and 3/67 Armor but I couldn't find the unit with the same markings on (looks like a Knight with a lance or spear).

I dont think thats the unit crest or emblem but rather a personalized "noseart" for that specific tank.

look for the reviews of Archer Dry Transfers OIF M1 decals. maybe this specific tank appears on there and info is provided about it's origin.

4ID is an all M1A2/ M1A2 SEP equipped Division. All their armor Bns have them. They are 1-66 AR, 1-67 AR, 1-68 AR, and 3-67 AR. No idea what individual unit markings are for each though.
