Britisch baret

Dear all.
We have an other model of a Britisch baret. Not from the paratroopers buth from the SAS, more specific the Belgian SAS, dated 1942-1943. I did not have to bue this won, so. No fake. Remarkeble is dat the only signs you can see is WD. No letter, no year, no manufacture. Is that normal??
But it is more an answer to your question, show me an other one.
Plaese comment if ness.

We have also a British beret. Not of the paratroopers, but of the SAS. Remarkably that only the signs WD stand there in. No alphabet character, no number, no manufacturer. P.S. How can I add an image???

You have to be an association member in order to insert pictures. Or you could use a picture hosting service.

Good oval shape the size stamping is a little off centre other than that a good 1943 Airbrone beret.

You have a very nice textbook example of a Kangol maker. No worries. If you are not happy with it, you can always sell it to me!
