Title Lt Col rank slip-ons, SAS
Nationality British
Period c 1965
Sold

These (10.5 x 6 cms) are the rank slip-ons for the shoulder straps on an officer's summer drill tunic, such as he might wear in the tropics. They have the modern Queen Elizabeth II crown embroidered in black and they appear to be made of a light cotton drill (they are more of a moss green than the rather grey tone in the photos).

The SAS were famous as they emerged from WW2, but really came into their own in the post-war period and currently, of course, see much active service worldwide.

They came from a collector with a set of wings and a stable belt.
