Cool Items Given for Passing Selection

[woodstock36]

Hey so I was wondering if you guys know of or can help answer this question for me. I was watching the show The Unit and in one of the beginning episodes one of the main characters passes selection for the Unit/Delta Force and he is given and silenced .22 pistol by senior members and it was made clear that all new commers get one and obviously past members have one as well. Also I am aware that upon passing selection for Green Berets they receive a Yarborough knife with their serial number etched into the blade.

So this got me thinking and i was wondering what other special forces or even other jobs(like being an astronaunt or fighter pilot) that have something to commemorate their passing of selection or becoming the few elite among the many and rewarding them with a token. This is a cool idea and must be awesome/exciting to receive a physical thing to show for passing such a hard selection and having something only the members have and can get especially when the token is a usable tool/weapon like a knife or pistol. It is not a new idea but I wonder what are some of the cooler more elite and hard to get tokens out there? Do you guys know if the SEALs, SAS, GIGN, GSG9, Delta Force, fighter pilots, SWAT, Snipers, recon marines, etc. I am looking for the more interesting or cooler tokens(I know this is subjective but I am sure you know what I am looking for), not something like a gold watch. I also know that this maybe pointless as maybe these items are actually kept under wraps as part of the entire ceremony and idea but who knows you my know and are willing to share the knowledge and actually add to the mystique.

Thanks

So let me know
