WWIIDADS Posted August 1, 2018 Share #1 Posted August 1, 2018 Found this wool green beret in my dad's stuff. Probably given to him by a Colonel he worked with in 60's and early 70's. Can anyone identify the flash? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWIIDADS Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted August 1, 2018 Thanks guys but doubt kids stuff made from fine French wool by a military private supplier. Here's the maker Mark. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Jerry Posted August 1, 2018 Share #6 Posted August 1, 2018 I do have 2 that are kids berets in wool with that same insignia, yours maybe a fashion item, but I don't believe the insignia is a SF unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Queen Posted August 1, 2018 Share #7 Posted August 1, 2018 Someone put the flash from a toy on a French made civilian beret. Perhaps for a costume or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted August 1, 2018 Share #8 Posted August 1, 2018 These did come on real cheap nylon berets like Eric has shown, thin felt green berets and these French green berets. They came as part of a play set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes seen two of the wool in the retail bags from the 60s...NOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
