Default SBS collars

Hi
These are the current issue ones, they are quite large in size but that is so they fit onto the Lovat Tunic, the lugs are the same spacing as the Marines collars
cheers
Brian
Regards the 1st pattern?, would you have any images

Yip, a/a
I know a lot of worldwide collectors who are in the same boat, very hard to get. I bought these off Greed Bay, they are the only pair i have ever seen listed, cost me £260.00
cheers
Brian

So you were the one! Daft question I know, but are you sure they are anodised aluminium and not anodised metal?

Sorry No images, they were all destroyed or so I am told! They were the same size as the Mess Dress ones, until it was pointed out that there would be big holes in the lapels when the Globe and Laurel badges were removed.

I will check.

You are correct they should be aa, I thought that as they were new (2007) that they would have been made in anodised metal like the other new Regiments badges.
