unfortunately Dorosh will not be the game changer. I dug my copy out and there is no colour photograph inside showing a beret with brass ? grommets. memory playing tricks. regarding the quiz, going off the pictures presented the odds are slightly stacked for the house. both berets are Dorothea Hats Ltd Toronto manufacture. apart from very, very slight differences in the dimensions of the grommets and colour of the woollen crown, not withstanding fading etc. either could be wartime. however, the liner details would reveal the true wartime identity. Dorothea changed its liner stamp after 1944, ie 1945 production. to confuse matters further it changed it again late 1945. as I said, funny old game isn't it.
