Nice find, the beret is not a mystery. It is a Royal Marines Commando beret.

Yeah, got the info for the beret from USMF yesterday, any idea how old it is? Vietnam era possibly?

And I'm loving the musette bags as well, the one on the left is officer / airborne quality rubberized, and the other is just an average GI, both are near mint, just don't find em like that anymore. I actually prefer the softer more pliable one on the right and will be keeping it as my picker bag.
