Leicestershire regiment opinions welcome

Def. on ebay? Looks like a beret in my collection, the collar badges being affixed to the beret when I bought it in Peterborough years ago. (Not a problem if it is by the way, at my low level of research, photography and collecting I have no problem with anything I put up on the interweb being used by others).

I have another 1950's or 60's R. Leicesters green tomb stone beret, with bimetal badge.

I think it's showing a "large" R. Leicestershire badge with correspondingly larger green tomb stone rather than a "beret sized" badge being worn by an ex-serviceman so perhaps / probably not as worn during service?

In that case, apologies mate - it was years ago and from memory I thought it was on Ebay, my bad ( maybe it was before it came into your possession?), I just kept the image in my records.

No prob at all, as I said, if I post things on the Web they're fair game although I understand people who put a lot of time, effort, research and perhaps money into their subjects getting annoyed.

I think the "collar badge beret" is a 1960's dated one, I'll dig out the two berets I have.

The beret and badge are not from the same era and not WW2. I suspect he has bought them some decades later.

Presumably, though the old Soldier's service continued into at least the 1950's.

I would get a second opinion on the fat cat! It looks to me like somebody has drilled holes behind the scrolls to fool the buyer into thinking they are vent holes

[mooke07]

Sorry the fat cat belongs in a Felidae all of its own - as Alex points out they look to be drill holes, no to this one, cheers Dean
