Boy would I love to be able to buy this, but it will probably sell far above my budget.

It’s being sold across half a dozen lots at Bosley’s so will almost certainly be well and truly broken up which is a real shame.

I did not know they split it up. That is a real shame. I hope some collector with lots of money buys it all.

No doubt that’s what they’re hoping too to drive up the price...

A rather sad money making exercise at the expense of historical records. Just saying.

Insignia. Is one of these the first pattern wing?

It is always funny all vets tend to be referred to as one of the early SAS originals I believe that this term is reserved for the first 66 members that joined L—detachment SAS in 1941. Still an earlier member of course as he joined in 1942 no 8 commando were he served produced a large number of SAS members including David Stirling.

Cheers JB
