Gilt and enamel shield-shaped metal shoulder badge featuring a red field with central black vertical stripe and crossed pick and shovel in gold. This design is consistent with the insignia of the South African Army Corps of Engineers (SAACE). The crossed tools are traditional engineer emblems, and the red/black shield format aligns with known SADF-era metal formation and corps badges worn on dress uniforms rather than field kit. Construction, enamel finish and proportions are consistent with 1970s–1980s SADF manufacture.
