Default metal 5 commando title

Hi guys,
right now some one is offering this metal shoulder title on greedbay. I assume it is genuine. But does anyone have a little more background info? After all, most commando titles were made out of cloth during WW2.
Cheers,
Pieter
PS: I'm always looking for nice WW2 commando bits

Hello pieter,could your title have something to do with Mike Hoare's mercenaries 5 Commando in the Congo in 1964 ???? I know of cloth title but, could some have worn a metal title ????
