Hi Pete,
This is the South African 451 Parachute Battalion which was 5 Recce prior to 1993. They continued the tradition of using the Rhodesian Selous Scouts parachute wing on their insignia for a while. Regards, Graham

For general info. This patch is completely unofficial and was intended to be worn on a baseball cap etc. There are a number of them floating around.

I think, if it is the actual wing that you like, you would be much better off collecting good original Selous Scouts bits.
