Silverwash,
I figured we could play a little game, it’s called “Guess the beret”. To make it more fun, I’d really like any and all members to chose one or the other and tell me why they like that one over the other.
It shouldn't be too hard since you have two to compare to one another. I have included detailed pictures of grommets, leather over the grommets, stitching and leather binding.
This game is NOT meant to demean anyone, simply to demonstrate some of the challenges collectors encounter. You have a 50/50 chance of being right!....or maybe 100%. We will see. Ready to play?
Okay, you see these two berets on Epay and you read the description which goes something like this, “ORIGINAL 1st Can Para beret from advanced collector. Beret been in collection for over 30 years! RARE! RARE! RARE! Thank you for the 500 questions and interest, but NO buy it now! Bid to win!"
No returns sucker.
Now, which one is war time? “A” or “B”
Have fun!
