Default 4 Commando Pair
A pair found recently. Two color type embroidery. I believe these preceded the more often seen red on black version.?
Thanks
Jack

Superb find!
These are the '2nd pattern', the first being the 'SPECIAL IV SERVICE' pattern
Well done
Paul

That matched pair would be an asset to any collection - it is great that they are still together. As Paul says - second pattern
All the best
Mike

A wonderful find indeed Jack,

Well done that man..!

Cheerio,
