Hi Mike,

Since no one else has replied I'll say that the badge looks to be a nice WW2 example. As for the beret, from what I see it looks original but I would like to see how the liner is attached as well as the other markings before I would pass judgement.

I hope this helps.

Paul

I had watched this on ebay also. As others have said I liked the beret flash, but was unsure on the beret. Could not tell if the badge and beret were a marriage from some later date. If all is correct someone got a nice buy.

The seller refused to provide any more pictures of the beret, so I stayed away.
