i had a nasty habit of losing my beret quite often , pretty sure that most if not all of the replacements had a leather band.

p.s i anybody around the shot area come's across a cherry beret with a SLR gas return spring plug in the lining " IT'S MINE" lol

been after a full set of 58 webbing but never seem to be any about when i have the funds :mad:

got dragged to the local boot sale this AM , my boy say's that guy over there has a couple of army items for sale so though id give it a look and found these

price £ 2.00

and this price £3.00

Have to say I have fired the SLR in anger, it is so much better than this so called THE Rifle. Muzzel volicety 2750ft per second. When it hit the Tgt sayed hit not like this new thingy. Loved the SLR and have fired both with wood and plastic . Does not make a blind diffrence at all. To add i have used the them with the old battle sights and the newer sights. 22 yrs RAF Regiment 72--94 also Boy service army 69

especially when on matchstick full auto eh

happy new year to all ex and serving airborne and cr** hats . have a safe and prosperous new year, cheers steve :nut:
