One for easy gee Foreign Legion paras beret the badge is marked DRAGO on the rear the beret is marked 60 but it has been shrunk to a tight fit, the fasion in the legion a few years back was to get a larger beret and shrink it to a tight fit.

A very fine example, I have a number of these Berets and they are all smaller than than the stated size in the beret,so I go along with the shrinking theory![]()

I have a size 55 Beret, and it is VERY small, I'm a 55-ish and it is a VERY snug fit. I have a number of Legion ref books ,and it would appear the style is/was to wear the beret very high up the sides sides of "Le Noggin"...a style I am fond of, I must say!
As before,I relate to the battle of the missus![]()

I must admit im not all that way of wearing the beret I hate to say this having not been a member of the RM I prefer the sweat band to be more or less level around the noggin and with a commando crease above the badge and the over hang on the right to just touch the top of my ear most styleish. Yeh the battle with er indors continues with no cease fire in sight im thinking of asking the UN to put in a contingent of blue berets to keep the peace lol.
