Default Commando badge, one WWII the others 70ies?

I have those in my box. I got them many years ago.

The dagger one, I think is original WWII. Could someone confirm as well as tell me what it is precisely (Commando Brigade?)

The following one is certainly a reproduction or at best a 1970ies production.
What it is precisely (combined operation)?

As do not want to keep the second one what it is worth?

Thank you,
Frederic

The dagger badge is an original WW2 Commando brigade badge introduced after the 1st Special Service Brigade was redesignated the 1st Commando Brigade in December 1944. They are very common.

I can't comment on the combined ops patch other than to say it is not WW2, but it appears to be an origianal post war example. Again they are quite common.

Hope this helps
