South African Police Special Task Force Badge

Hi all. This badge came with some others that I bought. I have no knowledge of SAP badges. Does anyone know if it is real or not? It is marked 20 on the back. Any comments would be welcome. Cheers.

This the qualification badge for the task force. The number on the back could refer to the person who earned it. A sought after badge.

Hi. That's good to hear, but I presume like most sought after items these are faked? Do you know of any way to tell if it is genuine?

Hi, the badge looks good. They were numbered when issued. One thing that concerns me/intrigues me, is that it faces the opposite direction to the one in my book. Maybe someone else could shed some light on this. Regards Andrew
