Looking for a favour

Post by Condor68 » Sat Feb 01, 2025 8:36 pm

As an ex auxiliary Coastguard, I resigned in 1973 because my work took me all over the country and very rarely near the sea I have a favour to ask.I am getting a bit upset because at the Big Parade in November a pal of mine turns up in his suit and beret.When I was in them uniform meant writing in lines in the log and taking accurate bearings.You could be bollo2k naked as long as you had a a pen and paper.My problem is I have sourced what the Coastguard HQ confirm is a genuine badge but I cant get a beret.They dont have them and state they were are standard RN Berets.Gone through Ebay and had loads where they are really real ,with ties at the back badge is over the ear.Yeah.Anyone know where I can get a real one.My son is ex navy and offered his but I do not want to take something he values .Anyone know where a real one can be sourced..No urgency as Parade a good way off .

Thanks for any help should have thought of this before.

Keith

If you're looking for the more traditional Kangol...

Or google search for "Kangol Monty Beret"
