Hi roy.
SoFs shirts are wrong and small in the collar size but i like mine.
2 commando badge is a simple silver dagger on a black felt backing, the SS ones are officers ones.
PM Yith about 2 commando badges, he may have one for sale.
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
I've just got rid of the last one sorry!
And I'm out of contact with the guy who cast them up for me
You really dont need t do that.
Firstly only buy of SOF as a last resort.
Always go to sabre sales in portsmouth for brit kit, then try jerry at what price glory for repros.
ORs 2 commando daggers are pretty easy to get hold of, as for the felt, just get some from the craft store and cut to size.
here you go, quick ebay search

As for felt size, these pics may help
"I think we are in rats' alley - Where the dead men lost their bones."
yup that looks like a good one and a lot less than I had to pay!
I have a collarless shirt from What Price Glory if you wanted to buy that? Its a size 44 and I can not wear it as my skin can not really do wool.
I have one of those... they really are extreme on the itchyness stakes... way worse than any BD.
However there is probably a way to make them less itchy involving fabric conditioner, shaving and other stuff...
a small wire brush ( weapon cleaning kit type ) can do wonders on wool shirts, we had the shirt KF when i joined up, and if you got a new one issued as opposed to a worn in one, god help you, it was like wearing barbed wire, i bit of timee with the wire brush did wonders, try it( it does ruin the brush tho)
Thats the beauty with the SOF one-might not be 100% correct but its itch free-well mine was anyway(no have an original)
