Default Special Air Service Title

Hello Gents,

I believe this is a nice original title probably from the 50's. Can I please have your thoughts on this title good or otherwise?

Thanks and good collecting.

Paul

Hi Paul,

Nice, 100 percent original Special Air Service shoulder title variant, mid fifties or so.

Cheers,

Default Value

Hi Paul,

It is an older variant, but not terribly rare since a great many were produced.

Price could be anything from 15-40 pounds, depending on the provenance, with 40 on the high end.

Cheers,

Johan
