I've had this beret for a little while now, but when I purchased it I was very glad to have done so. It is a 1945 dated basque beret to the Royal Winnipeg Rifles. In addition to the Scottish regiments, I also collect to the Winnipeg Infantry regiments and uniforms and headgear to regiments such as the Royal Winnipeg Rifles are very hard to come by, so I am always glad to pick up items to that regiment, as well as the other Winnipeg infantry regiments.

The beret has a nice polished badge, behind it lay dark green backing, which really makes the cap stand out. The cap is made by Dorothea Hats Ltd. and is 1945 dated, so a late war cap. The beret does have a bit of service wear but is in overall really good condition. The beret displays really well. Overall I'd say a great cap and a really nice addition to the collection.

Best regards,

-Jamie
