I would very much like to replace the beret (managed to acquire a replacement belt) but although SAS berets are ten a penny on ebay, I am having great difficulty in finding a genuine Compton webb beret with rayon sweatband that would fit the time period, although it wouldn't be my issued beret it would be more genuine than a modern one with leather sweatband, anyone able to help please?.

Let me check, (I may have bought yours), did yours have the liner still in it?
