Boy Howdy Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share #4 Posted March 29, 2021 Mystery solved! I googled C.D. 18 Black Beret Answer: UK Civil Defense Britain's Civil Defense Corps was a non-military organization that was founded in 1949 to be mobilized in the event of a major national emergency, with nuclear war being anticipated as the primary threat. The Corps was stood down in mainland Britain in 1968. The black beret was standard issue. Were they repurposed for any military uses? So it was only around for 19 years. Hard to find? Maybe. Does anyone care? Probably not.....LOL Link to comment
SARGE Posted March 30, 2021 Share #5 Posted March 30, 2021 Yep, I agree with you that "rare" does not always equate to "valuable" or "expensive". It seems I often buy something that I think is neat but is of no interest to anyone else. Link to comment
Boy Howdy Posted March 30, 2021 Author Share #6 Posted March 30, 2021 My family motto has always been: Покупайте дорого, продавайте дешево! Buy high, sell low! I believe it's on an ancient family crest somewhere. LOL Link to comment
