I rather like the SFC stable belts but this is nasty.

Is it being worn across the Squadrons and by all SFC qualified pax, or just Royal Signals?

Sorry all I have.

"The Wire"
The new SFC cap badge was endorsed on 18 Aug 20 and was marked by a small ceremony in the church on Stirling Lines by the Unit Padre, with the Master of Signals Lieutenant General Nick Pope KCB CBE and HQ 1 (UK) Signal Brigade Commander Brigadier John Collyer in attendance.

The idea is that it is worn by all of 18 Sig regt SFC's including the non-RSIGNALS ones such as RM who might understandably not want to replace the RM cap badge with the Jimmy even on a SAS beret.

Any ideas where this badge will sit in the official Order of Precedence?

Default i think the quality is spot on

The badge ive seen, 1 of those issued is of very decent quality.
The label on the beret actually stipulates Special air service.
Why wouldn't it when the guys dont wear it on ops?

The Signallers don't do SAS selection, they do something different ?
