Hi Mike,
Since no one else has replied I'll say that the badge looks to be a nice WW2 example. As for the beret, from what I see it looks original but I would like to see how the liner is attached as well as the other markings before I would pass judgement. I hope this helps. Paul |

I had watched this on ebay also. As others have said I liked the beret flash, but was unsure on the beret. Could not tell if the badge and beret were a marriage from some later date. If all is correct someone got a nice buy.

The seller refused to provide any more pictures of the beret, so I stayed away.

That was probably a good decision. Personally I wouldn’t buy a beret without having a good pic of the inside out. Original liner can be restitched by fakers. Just out of curiosity, how much was the winning bid?

Why do you think he would do a thing like that?

The seller is a bit different and his listings can be a bit off putting, however he does turn up some good items from time to time.

That’s about 520GBP. I think it’s a fair price for an original 1945 Kangol beret.

Wise move.
