Default SAS, Airborne, and Commando Insignia Lot

Hello Everyone,

I picked these pieces up today, I think some are ok but not sure about the SAS and Commando titles. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance,
Keith

Top right Pegasus and 3rd SAS are original.

Well done.

I don't believe so mate. The middle Peg may be also be OK as the 'bleed through' looks good also possibly late to post war.

The blue and yellow Pegasus is genuine but not WW2, as it was worn by 6th Field Force in the early 1980s.

Hello Keith - Red on Black No9 Commando incorrect as you thought, White on Black requires better image of front and back please - assuming it is not printed, which it looks like it could be - if printed it is wrong too.

It is my understanding that this type is ok, I'm sure Mike B will correct me if not.
