Polish Airborne Major

I don't often showcase military berets on The Beret project, but this 1960s Polish Airborne beret is a great example of the typical Polish way of beret manufacturing. 

Similar to the Sosabowski replica berets stocked at South Pacific Berets, this beret is not knitted and felted (like any "real" beret), but sewn together from various pieces of woven wool. 
Another interesting detail is the rank (of Major) which is directly embroidered onto the beret; the badge is sewn on permanently.  
The cost of this collectors items? 2850 Zloty (approx. $720.00).
