This site is for both collectors and people that are interested in Rhodesian militaria. The purpose of this site is to explain the difference between genuine Rhodesian items and the fakes and copies. The items that I will cover on this site are the ones that are the rarer, and the ones that tend to be the more expensive to buy. These are predominantly items from the Selous Scouts, 'C' (Rhodesia) Squadron 22 Special Air Service Regiment, Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI) and the Greys Scouts. I have also covered some of the more faked items other than from these units. These will include the Brigade patches, most of the Paratrooper Wings, Stable Belts, Rank Slides and Gallantry medals. Units not represented here just means that their particular militaria is either not faked at all, or is faked in a limited amount.

The majority of the photos displayed here are items that are in my collection or have at one stage been in my collection. Most of them are in mint condition. There are however some photos from fellow collectors who were kind enough to allow me to display them here. All of the items listed here are genuine except for the one page of fakes.

There is some amount of confusion amongst some collectors of Rhodesian Military insignia. The main problem being is that there is not one definitive book on Rhodesian insignia. There is also not a book or any information telling the difference between the genuine items and the fake ones. Another problem is that some of the militaria shown in some of the reference books is not genuine.
