Hi Mervyn, Some of the badges were also accompanied by a certificate and these are very rare and hard to find. I have also being collecting these badges as a sideline and they are very interesting. I will post some items from my collection. Regards, Will

I recently acquired this set and I suspect that it may be part of the Pattern 1903 equipment. Can anyone positively identify it?

Thanks Mervyn, The condition of this specific example is very good so may possibly have been used as an example by the SAP? It is still amazing to see what can be found in South Africa. Regards, Will

Thanks, any idea where they were made?
