This high-quality embroidered patch is a faithful reproduction of the insignia associated with the Frente Guerrillero Ernesto Che Guevara, a regional front of Colombia’s Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN). Measuring 3.5 inches in diameter, the design features the iconic portrait of Ernesto “Che” Guevara surrounded by the unit’s full designation and the initials ELN, faithfully replicating a patch documented in field use by members of the front.
Named after Argentine-Cuban revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara, the front has operated primarily in Colombia’s Chocó Department and forms part of the ELN’s Western War Front (Frente de Guerra Occidental Omar Gómez). The emblem reflects the organization’s longstanding Guevarist ideological heritage and has appeared in photographs of ELN personnel during the Colombian armed conflict.
Carefully reproduced with durable embroidery and crisp detailing, this patch is intended for collectors, historians, researchers, reenactors, and those interested in Colombian military and insurgent history.

Historical Context
The Frente Guerrillero Ernesto Che Guevara is one of the ELN’s long-standing regional fronts, tracing its origins to the 1980s. Originally active in southwestern Antioquia before expanding into the Chocó region, the front became part of the ELN’s Frente de Guerra Occidental Omar Gómez and has remained active throughout Colombia’s internal armed conflict.
Its insignia prominently features Ernesto “Che” Guevara, whose revolutionary philosophy has influenced the ELN since its founding in 1964. The circular design bearing the unit’s name has been documented on berets worn by members of the front, making it one of the more recognizable unit-specific emblems associated with the organization.
