Here's the berets I have worn through my Army career... UN, Devonshire & Dorset Regt, & SAS..If you look closely at my beret !! It is a different shaped badge..I haven't got a clue to what the back looks like because the badge is already sewn on when issued...After a very long course lol... Also mine is modern day issue... Cheers Terry.

Sorry Chris, but I am not convinced it is an original from any period.

I thought it might have had to be cut back before put on a beret , but I didn't have much money in it so no big deal .
cheers Chris

For what it's worth.......A collector, known to me has one of these on a beret given to him from a member of the regiment and swears it is legit. I have no reason to doubt him as I know his credentials and heritage. So my example of this particular badge stays in my collection until it is proved nobody in the regiment wore it. My example came from another collector who knows his stuff.

Any chance of getting a photo of either badge ? I'd like to compare them .
