Special Air Service beret cap badge of the pattern worn by personnel of the Special Air Service of the British Army. This British Army special forces cap badge displays the recognised insignia of the regiment in clear relief, incorporating the famous winged dagger as the central device. Beneath the dagger appears a scroll bearing the regiment’s motto “Who Dares Wins,” arranged in a distinctive composition characteristic of Special Forces headdress insignia.
The winged dagger emblem was adopted during the regiment’s formation in 1941 under David Stirling during the Second World War. The design symbolises the regiment’s airborne origins, its role in deep penetration operations behind enemy lines, and the elite status of the unit. Since its creation, the SAS has gained an international reputation for special operations, counter-terrorism, and reconnaissance missions.
Manufactured in black-coated brass consistent with modern British Army beret insignia, this example provides a clear representation of the regimental badge worn on the distinctive sand-coloured beret associated with the regiment. SAS beret badges are collected as examples of British Army special forces militaria, modern regimental insignia, and specialist uniform hardware.
