River Patrol Force TF 116 Beret - Real or Fake?

[PaulsAirsoftArmory]

I picked this up today at a small flea market that I go to once in a while. I don't know much about Vietnam berets or the River Patrol Force, but I have heard of them, specifically TF 116, so I knew it was worth buying. Considering the area it came from and the person I bought it from, I am pretty sure it's original. The lady I bought it from said she thought it was from Vietnam, but didn't really know for sure.

 

I found a few other threads on this forum discussing the authenticity of similar TF 116 Berets here, here, and here.

 

So guys, did I get lucky and find an original TF 116 beret??

 

I'm having trouble with the forum allowing me to put all the images on this post, so I uploaded them to my Flickr account. You can view the whole set of pictures HERE.
