SAARF
I think the best examples are in Len Whittaker's STOPA.

You might find this website helpful. It belongs to Les Hughes a well known collector here in the U.S. He has a link to SAARF as well as other SF related insignia.

Jon, I agree with Jack and Mike -- Les Whitaker's book is still the best printed reference I know of for UK special units of WW2, and the photos of insignia are reliably authentic. Les Hughes website is the best online reference around for information on SAARF. Excellent photos there of original SAARF insignia, along with great background info. Les is planning to publish a book on OSS uniforms and insignia, which should be quite a reference.
There are a couple photos in my OSS album of good SAARF insignia, if you want to check them out as well. Cheers, Donovan

Thank you gentlemen
I don't actually own STOPA, but have some good German ref books, so will hit up some stores to see if one can get hold of a copy through exchanging. The picture in Peter Taylor's book is attributed to Les Hughes. Later guys Jon

The picture in Scooby Doo's book on p. 185 has been described as a copy.

SAARF
Friends,
Please find attached a scan from Some Talk of Private Armies by the late Len Whittaker with good pictures of SAARF insignia. This book is from 1984. Best regards, Johan
