SADF Military Intelligence Division Owl pin badges and other SA Military badges

Old South Africa Military Intelligence Division Owl pin badges.
The South African Defence Force Military Intelligence Division. The MID insignia consists of an Owl, the symbol of knowledge, wisdom and also vigilance, and a motto in Latin: Vigilans et Sciens (Watching and Knowing). The insignia, as it is worn on the cap and lapel, is in silver. After South Africa became a Republic (outside the British Commonwealth in 1961) its foreign intelligence sources dried up. The SA Defence Force had to establish a full-scale military intelligence section to meet its intelligence requirements.

Plus seven other military pin badges (as seen in photographs).
