Dating a beret ?
I was wondering if anyone could date this beret ? It was sold as WW2, which i know it is not, but cost less than a tenner.
Thanks Andy

The internal slider pocket is plastic rather than leather - 1970's?
Does misting the inside with a water spray bring up the ghosts of any of the markings? |

Thanks Leigh, I'll try that.

Slider pocket and looped stitching around the inside make it from the fifties or later, the large crown to me suggests fifties/sixties. It would help if you could find any further marks with Leigh's trick.

Andy, I'm going 80's - mine was just like it. It may be private purchase even. I think they were Compton and Webb.

I would agree with everyone else, 50's or later, possibly even 80's but I think 70's as already stated by Leigh.

Meant to say "large crown", post now edited. When was the small crown type beret introduced?
