Digi-Shots Posted October 29, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 29, 2020 Here are some tabs and insignias... some I hope are good and others that I’m pretty sure are either current or repro. There’s also a couple of “Rampant Lion” insignias that may not be Commonwealth. Here’s the first batch... I’ll post some more. Thanks for looking.

Digi-Shots Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted October 29, 2020 Here are a few more... The Canadian sub badges look current (Queen’s Crown). I did a little research on the “desert rat” patch (Red Jeroboa) and think it may be a second pattern 1941-43?? I am not familiar with British patches... is this a fairly common one or hard to find? The other tabs are a mix... I don’t know which troops would have worn them etc. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted October 29, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 29, 2020 The No 6 Commando titles are good, Royal Marine title is good (ie. Post WWII), Royal Marines title looks like reproduction. Combined Ops insignia & RN Commando title are all reproductions, Bullion Combined Ops may be ok (would need to examine in hand), Combined Ops Sweetheart looks OK. Questionable QC Bullion Glider Pilot Brevet, Rhodesian Army badge is good. CDub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digi-Shots Posted October 29, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted October 29, 2020 Here are some close ups of Royal Marines... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted October 29, 2020 Share #7 Posted October 29, 2020 Australian Nationality title looks OK to me (ie appears to have been made in the Far East Theatre). Royal Marines title, is no dice IMO. Embroidery is to thick which is classic reproduction. Take a look at my website, there is a British Special Forces section I posted as a reference to help other collectors. All insignia are or were part of my personal collection.
