Hi Tommitank
I have spent a lot of time over the years looking at WWII British berets and I have a few concerns regarding the beret you have posted
1 no double row of stitching to the white doted lines or near them
2 The WD stamp should be on the inside part of the brim and not to the center
3 the way the white lines run they appear not be a constant width apart
4 the width of the brim looks wrong for the period see below some out of my collection
I hope I am wrong Steve

In case anyone does not know Steve, he is a well known collector and is very knowledgeable on WWII Berets and if he has concerns then I would take them seriously.
I sorry to say that I also think it is a pimped and restamped post war beret. I hope you can get your money back. Any chance for ref purposes to see all of the inside and all of the underside of it?
Regards,
Jerry
