Default Berets colours and shades

Does anyone have for reference a Rifles, Commando, AGC and Int Corps green berets together?

Also the Guards/Infantry Khaki, SAS Sand and SRR Emerald Grey berets for comparison?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/All-Colou...-/400586020064
Using the pictures in this listing, the green ones:
Picture 3 - Commando
Picture 6 - AGC
Picture 7 - Int Corps
Picture 10- Rifles

I'm sure someone here will have the others, and can send a picture of them.

Conan

Interesting range of colours and badges in the pics. Clearly visible the change in quality over the 3. Hate the new berets, no amount of shaving it gets rid of the fluffiness.

95 Cdo Lt Regt RA actually - the duplicate of 29 Cdo Lt Regt RA. 29 was such a success that the Royals asked for a second Gunner regiment to be formed (from 95 AO Regt) to ensure support in both Europe/Mediterranean/Gulf and in the Far East.

Thanks, I know of 95 but they were disbanded before my time. I think 148 Bty were part of 95, or one of the other Bty's that went into 29.
