ONE OF THE FEW NORTH AFRICAN MADE SAS BERETS
This iconic peace of headdress oftern referd to as sandies was purchased by a freind at a carboot sale and he sold this one and the other 2 to me sadly no names came with them . I started collecting militaria back in 1982 arfter joining the ACF a freind told me about abook to read in the school library THE PHANTOM MAJOR I got it out and ended up keeping the book for about 4 months reading it quite a lot and always wanted to find one of the berets that was mentiond in the book it took 32 years to find one . this example has a late war style badge to the side mounted as oftern can be seen at a slant in the war time pictures of the SAS wearing them .
