Two beige SAS berets on Ebay
Good morning Chaps,
Currently there are two beige SAS berets on Ebay which are supposed to be ww2. Item numbers 183069043932 and 183069058709 In my humble opinion there are various red flags. The colour of both is wrong, they appear to br bleached and the old colour is still visible at some places. May be inanftry or recce? I am not a fan of the badges either. There is already heavy bidding on it and buyer may be disappointed. Cheers JB |

Hi,
As far as we can see on ww2 wartime portraits, berets seems locally made ... so for this model any british made beret must be dubious. Best regards .. Herve |

They do look a bit odd but I don’t think they’re faded. It looks to me like the colour from the leather has leached out into the fabric. They don’t look to be British issue either

Hi Lee,
But on the white/sand the marks are on the crown and eyelets? Why are they not British made? Anyhow the colour of both does not look like the right colour for SAS berets. Two ww2 beige SAS berets appearing at same time is a red flag in itself they are incredibly rare. Cheerio JB |
