Beret
 

Hi Guys not my subject but is this a Tank Regiment beret or Armoured corps.
Are the holes at the side vent holes and why the odd shape.
Asking for a friend.
All comments welcomed

Looks like a RTR beret that hasn't been bashed yet to fit the wearer's head.

Also looks like a officer beret..

It's not an issue one but shop bought hence the construction and material.

Don't think so..here#s my original....issued 1945.

Hate to say it but it looks like a modern ‘fluffy’ Indian-made beret to me....

Could it be an American beret?

The holes are vent holes.
My Dad's first grey Scots DG beret had them, 70's.

I suspect this is a ‘Victor’ small crown beret. The diamond shaped plastic crown liner and the tab behind the cap badge location are distinctive.
As Alan posted above, they were/are sold commercially and in the colours for most regiments and corps.

Not modern his dad was 91 and only passed away last week not a militaria collector just what he kept from his time.

Pleased to say I'm 92 and I know my Beret is original...only wear it for special occasions...

Don't think it's a Victors, i have three from my service, no tab inside, the plastic diamond set more towards the front of the beret - Regards Mark

Some similarities, perhaps not Victor!

I'd agree, the beret looks modern.
I may be wrong but I would think it's not an issue British item, it may be private purchase or foreign military.

I don't know what's unusual about the shape of it?

Thanks for all the comments I shall pass them on to the owner
