Hi Megan & Marco, I lose out on the 1 auction on the 2 SWATF Medals for Merit to Civilians, but was fortunate to get a gold, but unfortunately with the wrong ribbon. The 4 pictures with the silver, is those that I missed, but they have the correct ribbons. Regards Archie

Attached is the gold and silver awards for 4 Special Forces Regiment to SA Special Forces members. Seems like gold was to officers and bronze to NCO's and civil members

Hi Chris. The ranks were used through the Angolan Bushwar period, up to close to 1995. The wings are still in use for many years already, although they don't use the nutria material wing on the current camoflage uniforms. They used them for a while until the mint colour insignia came out, to be worn with the Soldier 2000 uniforms.. See my attached uniforms with some different insignia Regards Archie
