Some great displays James ! I was wondering if Belgium's 1st Para Bn. used a tan beret or red , but your display answered my question . Also I remember seeing surplus Austrian Butt packs being sold as ladies purses years ago in Halifax !

Thanks for the kind words chris

there doesn't seem to be many if any colour referance photographs out there on the world wide web ,just need to pick up the p37 bren mag pouches back pack and webbing straps ,ive cheated slightly on the beret by using an earlier maroon west german fallschirmjager version but dont tell anyone
