British Special Air Service Staybright Cap Badge

The British Special Air Service (SAS) Staybright Cap Badge is an emblem worn by members of the SAS regiment of the British Army. This badge features the instantly recognizable winged dagger design, accompanied by the motto “Who Dares Wins” on a banner below the blade. Manufactured using Staybright materials, this cap badge is produced from anodised aluminium, making it resistant to tarnishing and requiring minimal maintenance compared to earlier metal badges. The Staybright version became standard issue in the mid-20th century as part of a shift towards modern, low-maintenance insignia across the British Army. The badge is designed to be affixed to a soldier’s beret and measures approximately 5.5 cm in height. As an official element of SAS uniform, the Staybright Cap Badge remains a significant item for collectors and historians, reflecting the identity and history of one of the UK’s most renowned special forces units.
