Default I found three SAS badges whilst scratting around

I found these three badges whilst scratting around in some junk. You arent going to insult me by telling me these badges are only fit for the dustbin.

SAS stuff seams popular on here and people seam more than willing to write a lot about it........I`d appreciate if anyone could tell me anything about these.

The large SAS badge was my first ever badge buy back in 1985 age 6 it cost me 50p I will be gutted if thats rubbish

The wing I suspect is one of those you buy from a repro badge list but I dont really know. I like it because its stuffed.

The Gaunt badge was only worn by Aussies in the 80's when a batch was in Sasport,, many stories abound about why, mainly it is said that they were swapped for some Aussie made ones ????
