So It is good, but postwar, right?

[NORMANDIE18]

That's it, at best a post war beret, otherwise a bad copy

Vinyl sweatband makes it late 70's early 80's. Copy for reenactors.

Compton Webb never made para berets until post war, someone has faked the date on it

[Trubia26]

Yes ..the 44 numbers are different than the 19...even the White ink is different!

Also, the '4' on the size is a different font to the '44' on the date...

Jerry is correct. Compton made maroon berets in 1955, 1964 and 1968.

But none were ever made with a faux leather sweatband so, my impression is that this is a complete fake.

Not my area of knowledge but the 44 looks crap as there have said looks like they removed the later date then painted 44 on. There must be more fake Para and SF stuff out there than anything. I bet people would fall over themselves to buy this on Fleabay.
