13th badge - SBS - Although one appears on page 75 of Peter Taylor's book, 'Allied Special Forces Insignia 1939-1948', personally I do not like these at all. Having spoken to numerous veterans no one recalled it in WW2 or later - I think made for the collectors market. Recall WW2 2 SBS which was a very small unit, this badge is based on 2 SBS design, but to me completely spurious.
I would welcome further opinions from anyone - but based on sound evidence please, not speculation.
Regards
Mike
