So what's the current supposition re. this beret?
Definitely black and not a boot brushed dark blue.
The maroon patch fairly roughly sewn on.
A RDG attached to RTR or Westminster Dragoons who's wearing that unit's black beret and has applied the RDG badge backing to it, with the 17/21L motto just an add on to make the beret look more "complete" for a sale?
Did the black light / water mister treatments reveal any printed date or manufacturer's "ghost" markings in the lining?
Presumably not connected to this beret there were a batch of rifle green berets with maroon patches turning up for sale some months ago, I have no idea who would've worn those.
