Outtair Posted September 27, 2021 Share #17 Posted September 27, 2021 This beret I got from Johnathan Pittaway, SAS Rhodesia, in 2005. When he was selling items to write his book. It is ABL Cofabeba marked and dated 1966. The pin appears to be unmarked, I have not removed as it only has thin wire pins that are crossed over and are underneath the square protector pad on the inside. It has been sitting on my beret display for years and figure I would share and welcome any comments and information. Tim Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
