Obtained these berets recently and need help ID'ing them. The brown beret has the red and green strings of Portugal and has a plastic lining. The stamp inside says Pretoria and S.A.P.H.I. and the Ying/yang symbol. The other beret is wool in a camo pattern like a previous Portugese beret I had that had the red and green strings but this one just has black strings and the slack pulls to the left. It also has a snap between the grommets to keep the slack pulled down.The tag inside says Prada as the mfg.

Both berets are not Portuguese manufactured and nor used by Portuguese army, and I have a few of them. The brown one is from South Africa and the camo is from Brazilian army..hawkeye4771 wrote:

For years I am looking for this one beret like this. It was used by the Flechas DGS in Angola and also 
the third and fifth company of comandos that served in Guinea Bissau. Find one is like win the lottery..
