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 copies as seen on the caps of David Sterling, John Wiseman and Paddy Mayne etc. Worn on the peaked cap, side cap and berets.
We have sewn this aged badge to a genuine WW2 British officers Cap. The cap is made by 'Herbert Johnson. London' and the company still exists today.
It has Coldstream Guards service buttons (parent regiment) and brown leather chinstrap. The liner headband is heavily stained and it has 4 ventilation holes at the rear.
