Default Unknown patch
I have been told this is a South African patch. It may not be an Army one.

Thank you
John

Hi John,
I have never seen it before and doubt that it is South African.
Regards
Mike

Hi Mike,

Thank you

It is bigger than most of the SA army patches I have any chance it is a flight suit patch?

No, it isn't a flight suit patch either.

Could it be something to do with the Red Cross? They have (or at least used to have) the Salamander Swimming Club.

Hi John

A patch like yours (perhaps the same badge?) was advertised for sale not too long ago. I can't remember where I saw it but I am fairly sure it was in South Africa and listed as an unidentified 'military' item.

If it actually is South African perhaps it is a school/Scout/Guide/Voortrekker (Voortrekker as in the Afrikaans version of Boy Scouts) badge.

Regards
Craig

Do you know something but I was thinking I saw that patch somewhere last week too. I didn't want to say anything in case I embarrassed myself though so I'm glad you said it first.

Hi Craig,

Thank you.
I got with some other S.A. military patches but it was listed as an unknown. There must be more than one of them as I got mine in a private transaction.

I will have to look into that possibility.

Thanks again
John
