Original issue beret badge from South Africa's 1 Parachute Battalion.
Nicely embroidered badge on dark maroon (plum) felt.
This version without the side wings was designed in the mid 1980s was supposed to be for wear by non-Parachute qualified personnel serving with the Para Bn.
The idea did not last long and was soon abandoned and the badge is long obsolete.
MINT- condition.
