Also,
Running stitch is missing around inside edge. Not sure if there are air rivets (brass) but I can't see them in the pictures shown, an important point to prove it's WW2. I might suggest that it's more likely to be a 1948 than a 1943. Should also have the broad arrow and code letter for 1943, another important point to prove a ww2 beret
As the printing is good this should be clear to see. All these points may be there? But the half moon insert is a bad point for a WW2 beret.
