Good secondhand condition

To be worn with nutria clothing (Browns)

Includes cloth and sponge material with the plastic pips

The change from cloth to sponge materials with plastic pips for the officers' rank insignia in the South African Defence Force (SADF) was prompted by several factors:

Durability: Sponge materials with plastic pips were more durable and resistant to wear and tear compared to cloth. This made the insignia last longer, even in harsh conditions.

Ease of Maintenance: The new materials were easier to clean and maintain, ensuring that the insignia remained presentable.

Standardization: The change allowed for more consistent production and standardization of rank insignia across the force.

Cost-Effectiveness: The new materials were likely more cost-effective to produce and replace, contributing to overall efficiency.
