In an effort to consolidate the identity of his new unit, Colonel Stirling privately arranged for this insignia to be made up by a Cairo tailor. The cap badge was originally designed as a flaming 'sword of Damocles' but ended up as a winged dagger. The motto 'Who Dares Wins' summed up Stirling's original SAS concept.
After being disappointed with other inaccurate copies of WW2 SAS Cap badges, we decided to research and make the worlds best copy as seen on the cap of Major John Wiseman, who was one of the founding members of the SAS. Worn on the peaked cap, side cap and berets.
This version is thought to have been made in Cairo in 1940 . There are several differences between the 1st and 2nd versions! It is 40mm wide and 70mm tall.
Why buy cheap when you can buy accuracy! The cap in the picture is not for sale! The last picture compares our new and aged versions.
