Ww2 sas berets were unofficial in ww2 why would there be a British made ordnance beret in 1944 the more that in 1944 the SAS adopted the maroon beret. Only in 1957 the SAS beige beret became official and makers like Kangol or British beret basque made these.May be he acquired the beret post war to wear on reunions and he may be bought it from a dealer.
