SAS beret on ebay
 

did anyone on here buy this?

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WW2-BRITI...rdt=true&rt=nc

I did not like it.

I hope not!

Same seller as this ‘little gem’ https://www.britishbadgeforum.com/fo...575#post481575 :rolleyes:

Clearly something wrong if it only sold for £410.00 They can fetch as much as £23,000 :D

Is the seller a member of the forum?

Completely awful beret, badge is an atrocious copy.

:eek:

I thought with the exception of Paddy Mayne, at the time of Normandy all SAS wore the maroon beret?
Surely it can't be his!!!

Four hundred quid is an awful lot of money to just throw away.

Awful beret as fake as a US$2 bill. The SAS originals and other old hands from
were unofficially allowed by Paddy Maine to wear the sand beret in 1944/5. On period pictures you see mixed wear majority maroon but some sand. But certainly not this one!!!!Cheers JB.

Yep, from one of my UN pay packets via a US Army base in Sarajevo:

Give you $1.99 for it mate.

As long as that includes a couple of wooden nickels and a plugged dime....

mmm, its a worry this stuff is turning up

I find it a bit of a worry that a surprising number of people seem willing to simply throw their money away without any forethought whatsoever.:eek:
