Default $2,500 SAS badge anyone?
Is this genuine and if so, is that price realistic?!?!

IMO an over priced blazer pocket badge, but, that is only an opinion!

Check the dimensions 4 inches high! So a blazer badge available for around £10 or less in the UK.
54Bty beat me to the draw (again!).

I know WW2 berets were certainly bigger than now, but that's just ridiculous.

saying that I've got bandwidth to waste:

"Hi,

Your badge is not a beret badge, it's a post WW2 blazer badge. Sorry.

Regards,
Thomas"

I would love to get scans of those jeep photos that were sold with the collection. There are only a small amount of photos around of the SAS desert jeeps and those ones would be a great reference!
