Lovely badges! Are the dress wings on dark blue or green backing?

here’s another cloth one 

This beret was worn by Tpr. McCabe 1965.

Where did you get the beret badge from?

Very nice 9 feather Officer Dress Wing.

I have my doubts on the officer's wing. They were faked of course like a lot of Rhodesian stuff.

shirt for ‘sands’ uniform. Wings on chest is a Rhodesian S.A.S. Distinction for bravery or meritorious acts.only 73 pers entitled to this award.

RhSAS never wore brigade patches, only army patches. Never seen a WOC on a sands shirt before.

Rhodesian issue,Rhodesian worn, but all the international Squadrons wore British made badges up to at least the late 70s. Most Commonwealth Countries used U.K.(and Pakistan) cap badge makers.

That's not correct. Reuteler made most of the badges worn in the 70s. Reuteler started making badges in the 60s.

Where did the bullion wing come from? It looks fake.
