Excellent! Now that's a bit of history I did not know.

One of these days I'll have to take some better pictures of my own collection. Not nearly as impressive as yours, though

Hello

Happy to see that you appreciate my berets. I'm collecting since 25 years , and often the most difficult it's not to find berets but documentations about it.


Steph

A very fine collection of Foreign legion berets and Badges indeed. Excellent, thanks for sharing.

Hi Steph, WOW, very impressive FFL collection. Respect. Vitalis
