What a pile of ......

You can see where the slider pocket has been removed on the beret along with the many more obvious things wrong with this lot.

Buyer beware or rather buyer get some specs.

Mind you this beret from Canada is a piece of work.

I joined The Parachute Regiment in February 1973, when issued with our berets we were told to remove the slider pocket before we put in our badges.

That is fine but WWII version did not have slider pockets so it is a post war beret with fake date stamps.

Some of Military Antiques Toronto's items on eBay are suspicious.

Indeed, see the one I. Linked to in an earlier post, he has two dodgy berets that have remained unsold because they are so obviously bad.
