markie916 Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted August 5, 2020 Hi Sundance. Thanks for the message. Since I was a kid I’ve been interested in Special Forces. I’m not an expert just have an interest in them and the guys, what they are like etc. What kind of a person are they to do this work really intrigues me. So genuine SEAL and DEVGRU patches would be something I’d like to acquire. I don’t think I’d be lucky enough to find anything else from them. I’ve hopefully got a genuine Trident coming, it’s not issued but a genuine piece. SFOD-D also interests me. Obviously the British SAS and SBS, 101st and 82nd Airborne. I collect military watches and recently got a Benrus Type 1. What about you? What are your interests. Cheers Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mark, welcome to the forum, I note that you are interested in special forces and use the SAS emblem as your avatar. Some years ago at a government auction orchestrated by the Blair government all the historic contents of the British Army pattern room were sold off. Several centuries of equipment patterns were disposed of, I managed to buy the sealed pattern for the 1964 SAS cap-badge, about three years ago I donated these to the SAS museum at Hereford. Note the lead and the wax seal on the rear of the board. happy landings here, lewis. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markie916 Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #9 Posted August 7, 2020 Hi Lewis, thanks for the message and welcome. A very interesting piece you had and nice of you to donate it. Did you buy anything else? Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
