Default Trade/Proficiency, Stripes, SAS, ?
I recently acquired a small collection of mainly British modern items and before I offer some of them for sale on the forum I need to clarify what they are. We are in an area of which my total knowledge is absolutely zero so please bare with me.

Photo 1 Snipers Proficiency. Other trade badge in the collection have a varnished appearance on the back, this does not. Also Lee Enfield Rifles. Is this an older badge?

Photo 3 Same question as for Photo 1.

Photo 5 I believe this to be for a Greenfinch of the UDR. Right or wrong?

Photo 6. Who wore/wears these?

Again just to be clear, these items will be offered for sale on the forum.

Thanks for your interest

Eric

The single chevron is for the Women's Royal Army Corps (WRAC) Green on Beech Brown. The UDR Greenfinch badges are a different colour.
