Help Wanted SAS Beret
Hi all, would like to ask if anyone has a original period SAS sand beret for 1983 - 85 with rayon sweatband which they would be willing to part with?
I served with 63 SAS Signal Squadron in the 80's but due to some desperate thinking some time ago I sold everything but my dignity on ebay to get myself out of a financial hole, unfortunately including my beret and stable belt. I would very much like to replace the beret (managed to acquire a replacement belt) but although SAS berets are ten a penny on ebay, I am having great difficulty in finding a genuine Compton webb beret with rayon sweatband that would fit the time period, although it wouldn't be my issued beret it would be more genuine than a modern one with leather sweatband, anyone able to help please?. |

Let me check, (I may have bought yours), did yours have the liner still in it?

Exactly like that, did forget to quote preferably size 55 inch, or 6 and seven eigths! I would add that size is not crucial as I intend to put it pressed flat in a frame with my stable belt, blazer badge and a photo but just want it to be authentic to the beret I wore in 1984-86. Being a collector I would not want to take an SAS badge off a beret if it was genuine issue and original as that would have significant value as it is, so finding a period beret either without a badge or an actual SAS Signals beret with badge is my aim.
