Guys
The common consensus these days regards those "scarce' Springbok shoulder titles is that they were private purchase in the UK. Hence the theory being they were only worn by officers.
There was the common issue "South Africa INF" Brigade shoulder title in various variations, and these are still in abundance BUT the SA Scottish are really scarce, one just does not see them at all.
I stand to be corrected but if I recall correctly Mark Smith once said that Sam Foote agrees with this.`
