In this AP photo, you can see Afghan enlisted soldiers wearing both the metal and cloth version of the beret badges. Note the soldier with the cloth version is a Sgt.
Afghan soldiers participate in a memorial service for an Afghan Army officer who was killed in an insurgent ambush a day earlier, at Forward Operating Base Howz-e-Madad, in Zhari district, Kandahar province, southern Afghanistan, on Friday.

Nice one Mate, like it a lot, I wonder why the Berets all appear to be slighty different shades of Green..

Thanks mfor showing your beret, Aussie! Very nice used condition!
As far as the different colors, I am not 100% sure why the colors are different. Different manufacturer lots?
