There is one on this sight http://www.chairbornemilitaria.co.uk/home.php that may be of interest, always good items IMO on there

I believe that is a sleeve badge, Post WW2. A genuine WW2 beret badge will fetch£3-£500 or more now look at Bosleys. Just dont end up buying one of mine that has been aged up for £70 ! It will still not be real

You are correct that the one shown on Chairborne is a 21st SAS arm badge

Andrew Butler's (Hanbut) sites are not hard to find.

I sell mine at $20 on ebay but recently a Trevor bate one went for £350 sewn onto a beret there is a link on here somewhere. Just do a little research first or ask opinions on here before spending / wasting money, Andrew

Peter Hanbut site has long gone (5 years now) it is old_club_badges now Andrew

Andrew, Jon,

The badge on the Chairborne site is not a 21 sleeve badge, but un uncut or unshaped beret badge. The 21 sleeve badge is a different winged dagger pattern.

Cheers,

Johan

Hi Johan,
The badge shown is an early pattern and I thought that the cutting down to shape was carried out much later.
I'd have been happy to bet that it was a 21st arm badge.
What's so different in the wings mate that distinguishes them apart please?
Good to see you back on here mate

HI Chaps

NOTE NOT FOR SALE !!!

I am totally confused now, I just thought it was a manufacturers variation, so can anyone confirm these are 21st badges or now late WW2 beret badges
