SAS WW2 METAL CAP/COLLAR

[actionoke]

Would like your opinion on these 2 to wether they are wartime as I believe them to be. Both lug back and brass but larger being a bi-metal.

Hi these are not ww2 they wore cloth beret badges only except the super rare very early ones that appear to have existed in limited number and look very different. See Some Talk of Private Armies of Len Whitaker for such example.

IF thats the case what period would these be ..?Could they be Rhodesian then?

[airtrooper]

The collar badge looks metal as opposed to a/a. In which case it looks like a Rhodesian officer's collar. It should therefore be silver/gold on the front and silver on the rear. If it is, it is extremely worn. The shape looks ok as do the Reutler lugs. O.R's are the same in a/a.

Can show photos, if required.

The cap badge is just one of thousands of what I believe to be repros of the 1950's metal cap badges. It is not Rhodesian.

These didn't come and were described as such by the Jbg dealer that sold you the MS badge by any chance?
