This group probably should go under Foreign SOF - Historical.


An assortment of WW2-era and early 1950s shoulder titles:

The 'collar dogs' in your first jpeg aren't.

At a guess, they're either non-issue copies or beret badges from one of the non-UK regiments (Aus, NZ, Rhodesia) or one of the WWII free-European Regiments, or possibly officers No. 1 or 2 dress cap badges (though they don't look good enough quality) .

UK collar dogs have two pins on the back to go straight through the cloth of the collar and securing grips on the reverse.
