This badge, with many variations has been around for ages, and is hardly exclusive to SF. So, not one to put on the ‘must have’ list.

I thought a lot of the various versions around were mainly associated with PlayStation youth and the like?
Or just jump on the bandwagon fantasy pieces for collectors.
I'll keep my eye out for "authentic SAS" ones spawned by the recent publicity, not that I'll be buying punishers of any type.

I'd certainly rather have Frank Castle as a friend rather than an enemy.

Here's a 'punisher skull' picture I was sent, they are simply private purchase items more squire like a TRF



It's not as if the British Army do not wear Skull & Crossbones since the 17/21st Lancers wear one as a cap badge...

Increasing in value as we speak?
I have only one moral patch, although I did consider investing in the "Sh1t Burner" morale (qualification?) patch as a form of protest years ago.

Hi guys

These come in all colours with different designs American British ISAF,NZ Aussie, you name it they will embroider for the units, all unofficial only tolerated to some degree in the field/Garrison and depending on the commander. They are more or less souvenir's.

There many embroidery shops in and around major bases and bazaars in the cities and local towns.

The locals including foreigners set up computer generated embroidery business's, make patches from individuals/Unit's they then make extra for resale.
So if a member of the SBS has a specific design orders 20, the embroiderer will make 20 plus 20 more at the same time from the same order for resale.

A friend of mine, American, who served multiple tours brought out an entire shop that was closing down and sold most of his patches, Im getting a few of the remaining US Army, MI,SO and moral /souvenir patches.
He has many European/Nato units he is selling.

Most of his British patches have been sold to British collectors, I am getting some left overs.

Old news. It happened in Australia a year ago. This is what happens when the politically correct socialists have a say in the defense department.

The majority of the Aussie ones (legit) were made here because I know the bloke who made them on request of various SF units. At one stage I had a reasonable collection of them and I still have the photos. To my knowledge all of them were faked by various people.
