At least one other person did as well Mike, or possibly even several, if the bidding went that high.
It ticks the right boxes, but, given it wasn't attributed, I wouldn't have paid that much for it. I wonder if it was bought by a genuine collector or acquired by an investor creating a diverse portfolio. Graham

The mind boggles. A case of too much money. Wish I was the seller.

So for years there's no white or early SAS berets then....
In 18 months there's about 4 or 5. Well I'll eat my hat (pun intended).
A couple may well be original, indeed I'm sure they were, but without provenanc, it's just a beret with a story. And one buys the item not the story. £22K is a ridiculous amount. It's nice, but not a white beret!!!! If you've got the money though, why not? Can't take it with you. |

Switzerland...
So clearly someone with a tax free status then! Apparently went to a buyer/asylum patient/money launderer in Switzerland......£22,000 lets just let that settle in....
