    That indeed could be one! Much better than the usually encountered black on rifle green version.

    I have ordered a KC one off Montyslocker but there was no picture so will have to see what it looks like.

    Two rifle brigade berets.
    The one on top seems much browner than the one underneath the glass. In fact, they are both quite similar and greener than the one on top seems to be.

    Mmmm interesting. I wonder if the colouration is down to age and use. I can speak from experience that my beret's I wear for work discolour over time from constant use to the point of looking 'dirty'. The top beret looks newer.

    Two years newer, to be exact... :D Sorry, couldn't resist. But you're right the one behind the glass is slightly faded, the top one seems like new. Although the colour difference is far less than what it seems like in the photo. May I ask, why 1RB? Any (family) connections?

    As stated I am ex 3RGJ so its purly based on regimental history. 95th Rifles > Rifle Brigade > The 1st Battalion was renamed the 3rd Green Jackets, The Rifle Brigade in 1958
