Default SSF

The unit title in the late 70s was the Sultan's Special Force (SSF). Mike

Thanks Andy, Mike
Thanks for pointing out the correct unit title Mike, I found that most people sell these (mostly fake) described as Omani SAS, they were of course trained by the SAS and also operate in Sabre Sqns.

Default SSF

I came across my example today - sourced in the Sultanate in 1978 and measuring 64mm across - almost identical to yours. Mike
