A neat example of a difficult to find a sought after No.5 Troop, 3 Commando shoulder badge


This is a neat example of a difficult to find a sought after early No.5 Troop, 3 Commando shoulder badge. No.3 Commando was, despite it's name, the first Commando unit to be formed in 1940. Up to 1941 they had no shoulder title but did wear individual troop patches. 'D' Troop, for instance, wore a white full face death head in a blue 'D' on a dark green background. In 1941, the troops changed from letters to numbers. This example, coming from a old collection is in a perfect and un-issued condition. Hard to find these days.
