SADF Boshof Commando metal pocket flash with red blesbok on yellow and green field. A scarce Free State Commando insignia.
This item is a SADF-era metal pocket flash for Boshof Commando, a former light infantry regiment of the South African Armys Territorial Reserve.
The design features a red blesbok (or similar antelope) on a yellow shield with a green base, symbolising the Free State province where the town of Boshof is located. The emblem reflects the regions strong agricultural and game-farming identity.
Boshof Commando performed:
Area force protection
Rural policing support, especially stock theft control
Search-and-cordon operations during the SADF era
The Commando system was fully phased out between 2003 and 2008.
The metal cap/pocket flash typeas picturedis considered very scarce, with some collectors reporting that as few as ~100 badges were produced shortly before the units disbandment. This makes surviving examples highly sought after in SADF Commando collecting circles.
