A nicely used and issued and not so often seen early post war 1st Belgian Special Air Service Parachute Regiment shoulder patch for Officers in gold bullion

This is a nicely made example of not so often seen and sought after very early post war 1st Belgian Special Air Service Parachute Regiment shoulder patch for Officers made in gold bullion aka 'goud draad geborduurd'. This Belgian made shoulder patch, measures approximately 4.8 by 3.0 cm and depict a white SAS winged dagger in gold bullion on a green molton wool backing, whas introduced by the Belgian Army at the begining of 1946. The commanding officer, Major E.Blondeel, a Belgian war time vetran, dis liked the shoulder badge and whas withdrawn from the uniform at the end of that year. A nice little Special Forces badge that whas in service just over 11 months and will do great in any Special Air Service collection.
