Help with a Beret

[lnijherald]

Any idea when this rebanding was done, and why?

Ok, so next year I will buy all the unissued Canadian headgear I can find over there and bring it back to make my fortune selling it to Dutch guys.
Sounds like a plan!

Luc, I read about the beret re-banding a long time ago but I forget the reason behind it? sorry!

Maybe Ken Joyce can tell us why.

Personally i think the originaal banding is worn out over the years. But this i''m not sure off. Just my humble opinion. Looks like a great idea Thomas. You can contact me any time

Excellent plan Des, I figure there is a huge demand for these berets over here!

Tex, these are unissued so the original bandscan't have been worn. It's got to do with what the seller says: rebanding made them larger.
Were these supposed to be sold to the Danish or Dutch army after the war and these guys simply had bigger heads?

Yes, I think that we have more brains than the Canadians
So I think that's why they did it,.,.

No seriously guys, Dutch males are roughly 4cm taller than Canadians so they must have bigger heads.
