Default Pretoria slip on 6 SAAD sign

Ditto: a Pretoria Regiment slip on, not of the usual epaulette type, but consisting of just the 6th SAAD bicolour triangle, the orange tab, Pretoria regiment title and web band...

Hello Brian,
I think that they have become far more collectable in recent years, I certainly see very few here these days!

An example of how the 6th Div guys treasured these was when an ex NMR trooper and family friend gave me his medals but would not part with his flashes! He said they meant more to him as he had worn them throughout the campaign.
