Ello fellows,
yet another beret, lol in fact I found this odd little issue when looking at markings on the 50's dated beret
OK here we have a nice txt book para Kangol beret, nice floating thread,vents,badge and weave. I wont worry about posting the piccys regarding those,
Now here is the whammy,
Now here we have a nice honest looking 1945 date and Kangol stamp etc, but if you look at the top of the beret, take note of the little upside B arrow :P
Now the super whammy
1942 anyone?
The only reff I have on this beret, is that the WD stamp is E/212 now after doing some hunting around, ol Ade has a very nice early vet given no question beret with a E/212 on it, so Im taking thats an early date, I dont want to go to much in to the Date codes as well know that mums the word on that, but a 45 beret with the current WD marking on it is not quite right from what I recall, but an early date say 1942 It might be a bit closer on the mark?
anythoughts guys
