SAS cap badge and jump wings
These turned up in a house clearance lot and whilst the pale blue of the winged dagger has washed out in my photograph it is definitely there.
As these are the first SAS badges that I have ever owned I would be pleased to hear your thoughts about their authenticity, good or bad. |

Beret badge
Hi,
Please note that beret badge is unshaped, as issued and also as sold by military tailors at the time. They would be cut into a shield shape and sewn on the beret. This explains the wide variations of beret badge shapes! Cheers, Johan |

Yes Johan, and the sometimes bizarrely off centre shields.....

Mutilated beret badges
Quote:
It is not so easy, even for an experienced tailor, to cut a proper shield shape. I have seen a lot of weird shapes, some beret badges sewn on uncut and some beret badges absolutely FUBAR! Cheers, Johan |

These two later wings came from the same house clearance bloke as the first two wings and SAS cloth badge. It seems that he is clearing a house where an elderly relative collected badges and the family are disposing of his collection. There are a few nice items and a lot of mundane items.
Your thoughts on these three items would be appreciated. Thank you. |

The wings are very modern Special Forces Communicators wings for 18 Sig Regt. They started to be worn circa 2012/13.
