SET OF 5 MILITARY HEADSETS: Nr1: British/Commonwealth Officer's Service Cap – Fusilier/Grenadier Regiment This is an authentic Officer's or Senior NCO's Service Cap from the British or a Commonwealth Army, likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th Century. It is highly desirable due to the distinctive regimental insignia. Key Features and Identification: Service & Origin: British or Commonwealth Forces (Post-WWII era). Cap Type: Service Peaked Cap (often worn in barracks or temperate zones). The crown is constructed in a soft, relaxed "saddle" style. Colour: Classic Olive Drab / Khaki Green, the standard temperate uniform colour for the British Army. Chinstrap: Features a brown leather chinstrap secured by gold-coloured buttons on the side. The button features a faint embossed heraldic design, consistent with British military insignia. Regimental Insignia (The Flaming Grenade): The most defining feature is the brass cap badge: Insignia: A large, distinctive Flaming Grenade (grenade à la flamme). Regiment: This symbol is the universal badge for Fusilier and Grenadier regiments within the British Army tradition. Red Backing: The badge is mounted on a piece of red felt or cloth backing, a common feature used to distinguish specific regiments such as the Royal Fusiliers or other notable Fusilier corps. Condition: The cap is in very good condition with rich colouring and an intact badge. The interior features a perforated leather sweatband and a clear plastic shield for identification purposes, common in period service headwear. Nr2: A distinguished vintage peaked cap, likely originating from a German uniformed service. This classic dark blue/black visor cap features a striking silver-colored oak leaf wreath prominently displayed on its front, indicative of an officer or senior non-commissioned officer (NCO) rank. Key Features: Classic Design: The cap boasts a traditional, well-constructed form, a hallmark of European military and police headgear. Material: Crafted from a sturdy, dark fabric (likely wool or a similar blend), ensuring durability and a smart appearance. Glossy Visor: Features a highly polished, black patent leather-style visor, adding to its formal appeal. Distinctive Cap Badge: Adorned with a finely detailed, silver-toned oak leaf wreath. This specific design is strongly associated with German police (Polizei), army (Heer), and other uniformed services from the mid-20th century onwards. Missing Central Emblem: The wreath currently has an empty center, which would historically have held a national cockade (e.g., the black-red-gold German colors) or another specific service emblem, allowing for potential customization or restoration by the collector. Historical Context: The oak leaf wreath is a long-standing symbol of strength and authority in German heraldry and military tradition. Caps like this were essential parts of daily uniforms and parade dress. Nr3: An instantly recognizable and authentic uniform peaked cap of the Italian Carabinieri (National Gendarmerie). This classic European gendarmerie cap is defined by its stark black design and its unique, famous insignia. Key Features: Service: Official headgear of the Italian Carabinieri. Classic Design: Features a structured, dark (likely black) crown with a high-gloss, black patent leather visor. Signature Piping: A distinct red piping band encircles the crown, traditional for this distinguished Italian corps. Iconic Badge: Adorned with the correct silver-toned metal flaming grenade insignia, the internationally recognized symbol of the Carabinieri. The unique, stylized flame pattern is correct for this service. This is a museum-quality piece for collectors of Italian, police, or gendarmerie militaria. Nr4: A highly collectible and authentic green beret (Képi Vert) of the French Foreign Legion (Légion Étrangère). The beret and its insignia are internationally recognized symbols of one of the world's most famous and storied military units.

Authentic Use Marks: The presence of handwritten names/markings inside the lining adds a layer of authenticity, indicating the beret was likely worn by a Legionnaire. This item is a cornerstone piece for any collector of French or international military memorabilia, representing a legendary tradition of service and commitment. Nr5: A genuine military beret and badge from the Belgian Armed Forces, highly likely representing the Artillery Corps or a related support branch. This item is a fantastic piece of modern European military history. Key Features: Headgear: Authentic military-grade brown wool beret with a classic black leather trim. Distinctive Badge: The gold-toned metal cap badge features crossed cannons surmounted by a Royal Crown, signifying service to the Belgian monarchy (or another monarchy using this exact design). Unique Flash: The metal insignia is mounted on a recognizable black cloth patch with a thin red border—a common and highly identifiable feature of Belgian military beret badges. Symbolism: The crossed cannons confirm the badge's association with Artillery (or possibly Ordnance/Logistics) units. This piece is a must-have for collectors of Belgian or NATO militaria. Its distinct design and colors immediately communicate its service origin.
