Special Air Service Officer's wire beret badge

Special Air Service (S.A.S.) Officers wire beret badge.

The Special Air Service began its existence as a Commando unit operating in the north African desert during WWII. It has subsequently evolved into one of the most elite special force units in the world, specializing in anti terrorist and counter insurgency operations.
This officers insignia is hand embroidered in silver wire and coloured silks on dark blue wool. It is worn on the distinctive sand coloured beret of the S.A.S.

The Regalia Specialist offers a fine selection of British Army military cloth cap and beret badges from the Great War, through WW2 to the present day. These insignias are either original issue, new-old stock or made to original specifications using, where possible, official British contractors.
