NZ 4th Armoured Brigade beret

8 Attachment(s)

A recent purchase and a welcome addition to my collection. A RAC beret badged to the 4th NZ Armoured Brigade. Made by Supak Manufacturers Ltd and extremely faintedly dated 194(1?). The 2nd NZEF cap badge is properly backed by a piece of red cloth.

Here's mine for comparison . Badge has a slider . Same manufacturers stamp , but date isn't visible due to wear.

That's almost identical! Supak Manufacteres and so on. I guess it could be dated 1941 as well.

Unless it is a small size beret, it is unlikely to be a 1941 date.
