Rhodesian SAS badge

Is there any difference between the Rhodesian SAS Badge and the regular British version ? Most of the SAS badges for other countries show the dagger and wings with the motto on a ribbon.

That literally did nothing to answer the question. I was asking about the design not buying one, but thank you for link.

My apologies for wasting your time. I thought perhaps examining the design of said cap badge would shed some light on your question about whether the design was the same as or different from the British version.

The basic design is the same, however the Rhodesian-made SAS insignia was made differently than the Brit versions, which is how you can tell them apart. The biggest clue is that the background stitching in the scroll is vertical on the Brit examples and horizontal on the Rhodesian. The wings are basically the same too, although Rhodesian versions have 9 feathers per side.
