They are still out there and can be had, but, you're more likely to run into a reproduction than you are an original.

Thanks James. I missed out the word "not" in my post of course....
I suppose I should be grateful that I do at least have the O/R's set.. Must try harder. All the best, David |

Not the ones on the dress greens (he kept his original wings & medals) or the one on the pea greens. I do have a few sets of original 'numbered' but unissued, and 1 ("highly prized set") of numbered and issued with provenance.

Hello Gents,
I was at my friends place today when I saw this on his wall. I figured all you Selous Scout collectors might like to see it. It's approximately 2ft X 2ft. Cheers

The Transkei SF Beret has colouring closest to the SA Medics Beret.

There were both versions, lugs and pins. The issued ones were numbered, like the Scouts Wings. I'm not sure how you can tell the difference between original period made wings and the wings still being made today.
