sabrigade Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Many South African officers purchased more expensive badges from badge manufacturers. This specific badge is solid and was not manufactured with lugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabrigade Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 A silver officer's variation. It would appear as if the silver badges were more popular among the members of the 4th SA Infantry or SA Scottish Regiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to their disbandment in early 1918, any insignia to this Regiment is more difficult to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Any idea where I can purchase collar badge for 1st and 3rd regts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavinmedals Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Hi, one suggestion is to look at Alec Kaplan auctions that run roughly every two or three months. They regularly have badges from these units offered. A search on Google should get you to their site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
