Looks like a Martin Marsh fake produced in the 1980s.

Listed in the Martin Marsh catalogue as:
147 SS Commando (Special Service) N [Nickel - White Metal] 148 SS Commando (Special Service) B [Brass - Gilding Metal] Tim |
COMMANDO ASSOCIATION CAR BADGE
The design is based on the Officer Pattern of No.2 Commando - the SS stands for Special Service. The design (based on reproductions of the badge) then had COMMANDO arched title scroll added as a generic Commando Association badge (not just for veterans of No.2 Cdo). The design is faked, as highlighted in this thread, even though only being a post war Association badge - it catches lots of people out.

Speen Bridge Commando Memorial Museum shows one of these badges as a legit Commando badge.

Hoping this helps Mike PS - I knew a Brigadier who had one of these badges on his car, he called into a garage to have some work done - to his surprise the work was done for free. The Garage owner, unbeknown to him was a former Commando. |
