I agree that we have beat this topic to death, unless some new information comes up like a period photo of this one being worn.
I have really enjoyed the back and forth discussion of the beret, the insignia, sewing techniques, etc. etc.
I am also not positive the beret is original. My "tenacious" input was only to spark discussion and see what we all could learn. I don't think the dissenters have given solid proof that this is fake, but we sure haven't proven it is original either.
I especially appreciate how this thread did not get down to name calling and personal attacks like many do.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year and look forward to spirited discussions in 2009!
