Scarce No1 Commando 'pair' of Shoulder Insignia For your consideration is an original WWII set of shoulder insignia for the British No1 Commando, both the 'shoulder rocker and arm patch' are in this auction and are being sold as a pair. In Peter Taylor's excellent book "Allied Special Forces Insignia 1939-1948" he show's insignia for No1 Commando on page 43, I have tried to photograph the patches next to those shown in the illustration. It's rare to see any original insignia from these 'Special Service' units let alone a nice pair ! These badges are in fine condition, they do look to have been worn on a uniform at some point but have been carefully removed and are in lovely condition. Please take a look at my other auctions for original Fairbairn Sykes or Commando Fighting knives as well as insignia. Thank you and good luck!No 1 Commando: (from Peter Taylor's book)Created from A Company 1 st Special Service Battalion in March of 1941. The first shoulder title was 1 over COMMANDO in green on khaki and this changed early in 1943 to No 1 COMMANDO in red on dark blue. This title is found in woven or printed variations. 1 COMMANDO wore a green salamander in red and yellow flame on a khaki background below the shoulder title. 1941-1943 only. From 1943 it changed to the Combined Operations patch, red on dark blue.'PLEASE' take a close look at the pictures I have done my best to show the item clearly, make your own mind up 'before' bidding. I am happy to ship this item worldwide "FREE OF CHARGE" but cannot be held responsible for the postal system.
