The makers stamp on the BRITISH BERET BASQUE LTD ( BASQUE )stayed the same for the post war ones and consists of the name , date & arrow printed on the cloth with a series of 8 dots around the outer diamond ( See the pics with the red arrows which shows the locations ) all of these markings are printed at the same time and location and way round.
Interesting bit to note on the one below is the shadow WD stamp which show that the beret was placed down while the hand stamp was still wet with these 2 examples you can see that the WD stamp location was moved during 1946 from the inner brim to the center of the beret ( A good marker for faked berets )
