ukok Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Does anyone know if the clothing, caps and berets were stamped ? I have access to some purportedly original clothing from someone who served in the Falklands and the clothing is blue stamped " Special Air Services Commando " or " Army Paras " etc. in a circle. Even a book on SAS guidelines is stamped similarly but with " Falklands " within the circle. Clothing has captain's epaulettes and the ribbed " security " jumper has SAS motto patches above a patch with a winged parachuteThe beret is Kangol, the green khaki shirt and trousers appear to be German made.Thanks for any help.

Nick Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Pictures please, have to say all sounds rather dubious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKeating Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Never saw anything like that worn by a Para nor by any of the SAS men I encountered. I did meet one SAS man on his jump course at Brize Norton one time who was wearing a Kangol beret but he was Signals-badged. The others wore private-purchase Victor-style berets similar in all but colour to the berets worn by 99.9% of Paras. Never saw any kit with special stamps or labels.PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
