Default Australian Commando Brassard

An older brassard for the Australian Commando. From the looks of the shoulder title and wing it might 1950's. Snaps are marked AUS CARR or just CARR. Nice salty looking piece.

All input as to usage and period will be much appreciated.

Thanks John, the border was what was making me think 50's. The coarse material of the scroll also.

That is a cracking brassard with nice 'salty' title and 50's wing.

Thanks for showing it Jack
