following on, a Supak Manufacturing Co.Ltd. dark blue beret circa 1951. as can be seen the badge slider pocket consists of two parts. note the white stitch line guide. also of note is the change in lettering style compared to WW2 examples.

Kangol: 1955.
Supak: 1953.

I would love to hear of earlier examples.
Kangol on ebay 1952, though with looking again I cannot see if it has a slider pocket or not.

I doubt it, no slider pocket yet on this 1953 example. The same with early fifties green or black berets.
