Are these Royal marine related?
Evening all.
These came with 2 wartime RM green berets. 1945 dated. Are these commando or RM related? Regards JonIMG_9678.jpg |

Probably 40 Commando, Royal Marines ... I doubt they are 'wartime' lanyard and garter tabs ... we were wearing similar in the early '60's !

If the lanyard is light blue then it was still in use in 1979 when I acquired one from a RM stores in Derry.

Hi Jon
There is an interesting thread here http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...ht=garter+tabs Post 14 shows two RM Garter tabs I have. As mentioned, quite possibly post war in the case of my two at any rate Mike |

I have this as a possible 40 Commando lanyard although it appears to be a lighter blue?

That's the colour of the lanyard I have, from the stores of whichever Commando was at Ballykelly in 1979.
I got a dark blue one at the same time. |

Thank you guys. From the supplies J2 I'd say 40 commando.
Happy days as they don't seem to be that common. Weird that the guy had 2 wartime berets issued if it was 70s? I'll see what else is in the box later. Regards Jon |
