Mitch Posted July 1, 2014 Share #801 Posted July 1, 2014 kammo-man (Owen) Thank you for your comment regarding the item I listed on the website as being fake. Can you tell me in detail as to why you state this is fake? Details supporting your comment appreciated. Details help me as well as other members of the forum. Pehaps you have some information or pictures you would like to share? Mark Hi Mark, I will see if I can help. The material to the outside of the beret looks too heavy . It looks like material from a uniform. The inside construction materials look all wrong to originals. The stamp to the inside looks like a quartermaster type of stamps you see in issued items. Camo berets for most part of the war were tailor made or local made. They were not issued. Most you encounter will have the plastic sweat diamond with foil size and or foil makers label. Also , I can't quite see the back where the tie strings are but it looks like it is sewn with a split to the back. To the best of my knowledge they did not do that. There were some very early ones split with drawstrings through eyelets but I have only see one real one. Hope this helps. Regards, Mitch Oh rats, I didn't see you had replied already. Oh well , I'll leave it up anyway !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matterhorn Posted September 23, 2014 Share #803 Posted September 23, 2014 A picture from the Saigon Daily News in 1965 is of this female soldier in beogam. She is of the Black Tiger Rangers, note the shoulder sleeve and also the Ranger qualification badge. First up is a shot without color correction and then an image with color correction.
