2 SAS BATTLEDRESS
Would like opinions on the badges on this bd dated 1943.Just would like to know if all correct and why the pip base colour is crimson?

It may be my old monitor and its colour balance, but the rank star looks like a post-War RA officer's example to me. And SAS 2/Lts must be few and far between. Mike

I would describe the pip backing as nearer the RAMC colour of dull cherry.

Is there any provenance with the tunic?
From the images I am of the opinion that the wing is a modern fake. However I am unsure about the titles. To determine the originality of the titles the backs will need to be examined, but as they are sewn-on this cannot be done. I suggest if the wing is fake then the titles probably are too. Just my opinion and I wait to be proven wrong, Keith

The 2nd SAS title is also fake the colour should be maroon light blue and lettering is wrong.
I also think as part of the Army Air Corps pips should be light blue. Cheerio, JB |

I don't like any of it..... wing is a modern copy IMHO, the pip should I'd agree be Blue, but I'd also think Infantry Red would be a likely contender (not so much RAMC cherry). The shoulder title doesn't look right either....

2nd SAS BD
Friends,
Give this BD a very wide berth! None of it is correct, apart from the medal ribbons... Cheers, Johan |
