There is a hand stitched leather rectangle over the eyelets which have a washer in place as with the other makers of the war time British produced berets . The paint on the eyelets tends to crack and fall off very easy they did not follow the colors as strictly as the other makers so some black examples are seen on the green / brown berets.

This maker made the lowest number of berets during WWII with these problems you can understand why
