23 SAS gin

(Not my first ever post, I haven’t visited for a while and forgot my username so I’ve set up a new account.)
Perhaps not actually aviation, but it’s Special Air Service, so maybe it’s OK to ask....
I have been given a bottle of Hendricks Gin, 70cl, 41% abv, the bottle is engraved with a very large SAS ‘who dares wins’ winged dagger, plus ‘23 special air service regiment’ on the front. On the reverse it is engraved with the parachute emblem plus 4 lines of text beginning with “we are the pilgrims, master, we shall go...” etc which I presume is their motto.
It’s as new, sealed, purchased from the SAS base recently.
As far as I’m aware, these are only available to SAS soldiers, so potentially difficult to get hold of.
Surely a collectors item? Google failed to bring up anything.
Anyone know what sort of value this would have? What sort of £££ would collectors pay for this?
Thanks in advance.
