British Beret Manufacturers Markings & Letter Codes.

[leigh kitchen]

Thanks, very helpful - anybody any ideas re "X" please?

I'd collected this info. from all over the shop, filled in gaps from here & there......

It'll teach me to file stuff away properly on the old external hard drive instead of leaving it on my PC.

Still trying to identify the year / years for "X" if anybody has an idea please.

1949 seems to be the "?" year - is this "X"?

(I have a dark blue beret with that code).
