Original circular enamelled breast badge of 911 Battalion, a light infantry unit of the South West African Territorial Force (SWATF). The badge features a stylised silver cheetah in full stride on a glossy black background – symbolising speed, agility, and rapid strike capability. 911 Battalion operated primarily as a quick-reaction counter-insurgency unit, composed of locally recruited personnel and South African Defence Force advisors. This breast badge would have been worn on barracks dress, service jackets, or by veterans as a symbol of unit pride. Its minimalist design makes it visually striking and highly collectible.
