May I please have opinions on these 3 SAS related insignia.
Original or fake? WW2 or post-war? |

Is the wing the so called 1944 pattern?
Indeed the beret badges are weird, although one clearly has some age to it. |

Hello Trog,
They can put it through a washing machine, rub it on a rough surface to pull a few threads, stain it with tea, I think the processes are endless for adding an aged, 'salty', used look to cloth items. I wouldn't be surprised if you could replicate mothing by applying a controlled flame to areas of the cloth. Of course it helps if you put a couple of loose threads in prior to going through the processes, looks like its been removed from a uniform then. Fortunately the forum cloth specialists can usually identify the fakes and forgeries. Keith |

Yes, most people do usually refer to it, they were made here, from an ordnance sealed pattern, there is less variation, unlike the earlier examples that were far more of a cottage industry being produced on campaign.
I like them very much, the only other thing I would add would be not to pay too much, a huge number were made, they are not rare. |

The beret badges are fakes. The wing is the ww2 1944 pattern . The wings have also been worn after the war by 21stSAS.

From the same source another SAS wing but I think this one is post war or a copy? The front looks good but the back is different
Above the original posted earlier Below the new one |
