British SAS beret?

[Nailo]

Hello, I recently purchased this beret at a flea market and have little to no experience in any British militaria, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is an actual SAS beret or a fake. If any more pictures are needed I'll post them as soon as possible. It isn't any real issue to me as it was relatively cheap. Thanks for any help I can get on this.

Welcome to the forum!

Hard to say about the beret itself as the lining has been removed. But the cap badge does not look original.

Cheers, Ade.

Oh well figured as much, just another fake to add to the pile then I'm guessing.

Thanks for the greeting and help,

yeah deff fake mine didn't look like that in the slightest, the only thing that looks right is the sand colour itself, sorry.

Ok thanks, was just a cheap little buy for me to get out of only buying soviet equipment, didn't put me down too much. Can i possible see any pictures of the one you own for future reference?

Thanks, Damian
