Apologies.
I have moved your thread to the correct forum and edited the title.
The cap badge is fake for starters, note the die flaw "blob" under the top left wing.
It would appear to be a post war beret.
Cheers, Ade.

From what I can see in these pics it looks like the type we all bought from Victors of Aldershot (aka "a Victor beret") during the 1970s. About 99.5% of troops in the brigade wore these in preference to the issue type. It was a kind of unwritten law and anybody who didn't was considered very "uncool" so that means really that it isn't fake but is post war as Ade says with a fake WWII badge (if it has a slider rather than lugs).
For this beret I think a Queens Crown badge would be more appropriate. Also, as for badges, during the Staybrite period private purchase white metal badges were much preferred in the Regiment.
I hope this helps.
Regards
Mark
