Title SAS wings
Nationality British
Period c 1965
Sold

This is the cloth wing which emerged from a WW2 design, but is slightly different to the earlier model, principally in the colour scheme. 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.

The embroidery is probably of mercerised cotton to look like silk and I think the background colour is very dark blue.

They came from a collector with officer's rank slip-ons and a stable belt.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
