Look to be good pick ups.

i have two pairs of the Para titles, 1950's, but what date do you think the SAS badge is? Can you post pics of it on its own please?

Thanks Jerry,
Para title 50's/60's, a bugger to find on any dress apart from BD. The SAS badge ii think is a similar date. The RN Commando title I think most definitely war time and a nice bit of blanco on it too you may notice.

Very Nice Paul, ebay can be productive if you have time and are persistent.

Congrats

Indeed.

At one time I would enter miss spellings in an effort to track some things down, also removing one word or adding one word suddenly makes a load of new items appear, or disappear.

Go figure.

Paul, are you sure the RN Commando title is original? In my opinion it looks like one of the Pakistan made fakes.

A close-up of the back would be revealing.

Keith,
I am happy with it despite some staining seen to the right from the reverse.
Not the usual abundance of spaghetti from Pakistan but I would appreciate you letting me know if I am wrong

The title is nice and floppy and passes the blue light test, a few bits of modern shiny fluff/dust which easily blow away.
