South African Commando Collar Tabs
The Commando System can draw their lineage from as far back as the 1770s as the Boers. Under South Africa it existed from 1912-2003.
The system essentially a voluntary part time militia. It was meant to be a quick response to farm attacks and terror attacks by using radios and telephones at home. Commandos did a few weekends of training as reservists and kept their kit at home. They were meant to respond to incidents with the South African Police, but the “Farmer-Commandos” were usually there first.
The Brass badges were the first issue up to 1976 and the chromed after 1976.
This listing is for one collar tab, not a set. If you would like a facing set, please contact us.
