Hi have been told these are South African. Not sure if they are genuine or not. Maybe someone can help? Also in a mixed bag with them was the trident, I am not sure if it may be part of this insignia? Thanks in advance Mike

Hi Mike

The trident looks like the badge of the Swedish Kustjägarna/Coastal Rangers, originally worn on the beret and now worn on the chest.

Hi Mike, the 3 badges are SA Police Taskforce badges. With out holding them in my hand, I can't be 100% sure, but they look good. Regards Andrew
