Correct TRF for Artist Rifles Special Forces?
I am looking at getting this TRF if it is the correct one for the Artist Rifles Special Forces? It appears to be a brown backing with white design.

Many thnaks Jon! Would these then be correct for he Artist Rifles, or did they wear something different?
Terry |
The patch shown by Jon was for 21SAS(R) whose full title is 21 SAS (Artists)(R), as the Artists Rifles merged with 21SAS in 1947.

Thanks Colin
Colin has hit the nail on the head.

Many Thanks Colin! Sure helps me to understand how they became special forces.
Terry |
Just for a bit of pedantry the use of (R) is no longer used for the Army Reserve. The title is now just 21(SAS) Regiment.

Thanks Bess! No question about knowing a real form a fake. The fake I was considering was only£2 on eBay, but that's £2 I can use toward something valid!!!
