NSN = NATO Stock Number
Nationality is shown in the second group - 99 = United Kingdom Thanks for the link to the NSN Centre Tim

From NSN site :
"Now, both National Stock Number and NATO Stock Number are interchangeable terms for the same Codification System." I got mixed up and used the American terminology !

Thank you gentlemen,
So am I safe to assume that it is from the early 90's at least? It looks almost brand new, but having the badge sewn on I am more suspecting it was only worn for dress occasions. Terry |

As you know, it is a QARANC officer’s badged beret. However, the majority of QARANC officers are Reservists (formerly Territorial Army) working day to day in the UK National Health System. An issued beret would be worn infrequently and could last for many years. Tim
