Had a message from my little brother last night who has been working away. He saw a sandy beret in an antique/bric-a-brac shop and bought it on the off chance knowing my collecting proclivaties.
At the moment I've only got a couple of mobile phone pics from him as its in the post. It is leather banded and lined but with no label. It looks (to me) very similar in construction to the UN beret I was issued in the early 90s (which I'm pretty sure was a Compton Webb).
I'll post some more pics when it arrives but from that I suspect that it may be too recent to be a genuine 60s, 70s or 80s version.
