Kangol markings throught the time

[Trubia26]

Hello! I have seen here the usefull thread called "WWII British berets trait and construction"

In that threath I saw the WWII markings on kangol berets...the size, "kangol wear limited", the broad arrow and the date


After war the markings changed...still had the size, the broad arrow and the date, but now "kangol wear limited" was write in two lines...as I know these markins survive until mid 60s


But I have a beret with this markings...it has "kangol wear limited" in two lines but the arrow and the date disappear...I think it has some kind of code...but it is not very clear


I have seen too in the web another kind of Kangol beret with a plastic diamond and a lot of numeric codes


And finally a beret with only "kangol limited" and ...european size!


What years you think belong that three berets due to the markings?

The beret with the plastic diamond - the code indicates that it was manufacture during the 1960's - 70's, probably around the early 1970's.

the first is 50's into 60's just the arrow and date are sometimes hidden under the sides but can be worn away.

the second as leight stated, mid 60's to 1979.

third is after then but unsure exactly the time line, I have one of all of these 3 versions.

So I put in the correct order! Thanks a lot for your help! Day a day I become more apassionate about british militar stuff but I have too many question yet!
