Well after a period of abscence, due to my daughter being ill , I've got back in the saddle with my collecting. and thanks to a fellow member have got my 2nd SAS title that i've been after for a while, and also commited to a nice 1945 maroon Kangol beret from JDR. so very happy with these and thought I'd share them and any comments that my forum buddies may wish to make.

Thanks Paul,

yes some fellow collecting friends have really helped me over the years , and many of my best pieces and SAS items have been sourced this way. and never get found in the dealers. the help and support is so much appreciated on this forum.

Default few pics
Hi Jon,

I don't have any great SAS collection, as its more airborne related, but heres a few pictures of my other items, also pictures of my grandads SAS beret, who served in the 1st SAS from 44 - 45. Also a picture of my grandad at the 50th Anniversary event in normandy, he was also in 6th airborne before joining the SAS, and had previously went in on Pegasus bridge, sadly no longer with us now
