FT.Monmouth1943 Posted April 8, 2017 Share #1 Posted April 8, 2017 I recently picked up this beret which I believe stands a chance at being an original MACV-SOG beret. The beret itself has a US made 5 SFG flash and SF crest which has been on there for a very long time. The lining was gutted out and replaced with what appears to be a nylon lining, with the Command and Control Central (CCC) patch sewn on top. I know that the beret itself is original, but I'm not 100% sure on the CCC patch. All comments are welcome. -Jakob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin D. Posted April 8, 2017 Share #4 Posted April 8, 2017 I'm far from an expert on this, but I kind of like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FT.Monmouth1943 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks! It definitely has a better look to it than the average fake on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted April 9, 2017 Share #6 Posted April 9, 2017 The average fake on eBay typically features a patch sewn into the lining. The flash is US made, but there is nothing wrong with that. I think you may have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy vs Spy Posted April 9, 2017 Share #9 Posted April 9, 2017 I wouldn't have a problem having this in my collection. Congrats on a very nice find. The design is very similar with this CCC embroideried 1-0 jacket. Photo curtesy and owner Mikko.
