British made Free French Airborne Beret

Sometimes, looking on Ebay for vintage berets, one comes across a real treasure.
This 1944 paratrooper’s beret for example, made by the” British Beret Basque Ltd.”
The beret was issued to commando’s/paratroopers of the "Free French", fighting the Nazi’s and Vichy French Government. 
The winged badge is numbered 875; a truly rare find.
