Selous Scouts 2nd Issue Cap Badge

[BarryT]

Hi,

I have a Selous Scouts 2nd Issue cap badge, I believe.

 

I got hold of this back in 1988/89 when I was an army cadet and I was collecting/trading militaria.

 

I have been looking at this badge, and I believe it to be genuine, however it is double stamped for the makers mark.

Is this a common thing?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi BarryT

 

A belated welcome to the forum.

 

Attached is an image where 'REUTELER MFG RHODESIA" appears to be mis-stamp on another Selous Scouts cap badge.

Thanks for the reply Gunner.

 

I thought it might be a bit unusual.

It isn't really a messed up stamp, like the picture you have, more 2 clear stamps.
