Default SAS Beige beret

Just noticed that one of the two beige coloured berets that appeared on ebay last year has turned up on a dealers site recently.
I can't find the original thread that was on the forum about the two berets at the time that they were for sale but it looks like one of them has just been sold on.

Cheers

Arnhem

I notice it is already reserved.

I notice the seller commented in post 48 that they were fakes......funny that.

I'm not taking any sides but if the one just sold is one of the pair that was previously on ebay, then the cap badge has been changed

Default SAS beige beret

If it isn't one of the ones that were sold on ebay I'll be amazed. I did save all the photos of both berets on my computer and they were on the same glass heads if I remember rightly. I'll check later in case I'm doing him wrong.

It looks like Jack (jdr) referred to his own berets for stating in post 48 that the berets on EBay were fake. The one he just sold was apparently from his own collection.
