SHORT DESCRIPTION

South African Infantry Corps beret flash (balkie) in green, black, and green with gold border.

FULL DESCRIPTION

This item is a South African Infantry Corps beret flash or bar, known locally as a balkie. The green, black, and green pattern with a gold border identifies service with the Infantry Corps within the South African military.

The insignia originates from the former South African Defence Force (SADF) and continued in use as the structure transitioned to the SANDF after 1994. This pattern was mainly used during the Border War period from the late 1950s into the early 2000s, with minor changes to fastening style over the years.

This example is a metal bar type and would be worn on a beret.
