Beret
Hi Guys not my subject but is this a Tank Regiment beret or Armoured corps.
Are the holes at the side vent holes and why the odd shape. Asking for a friend. All comments welcomed

Looks like a RTR beret that hasn't been bashed yet to fit the wearer's head.

It's not an issue one but shop bought hence the construction and material.

Hate to say it but it looks like a modern ‘fluffy’ Indian-made beret to me....

The holes are vent holes.
My Dad's first grey Scots DG beret had them, 70's. Chris |

I suspect this is a ‘Victor’ small crown beret. The diamond shaped plastic crown liner and the tab behind the cap badge location are distinctive.
As Alan posted above, they were/are sold commercially and in the colours for most regiments and corps. Tim

Don't think it's a Victors, i have three from my service, no tab inside, the plastic diamond set more towards the front of the beret - Regards Mark

I'd agree, the beret looks modern.
I may be wrong but I would think it's not an issue British item, it may be private purchase or foreign military. I don't know what's unusual about the shape of it? |
