Ost Gewehr Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I recently picked up a group of uniforms on auction, swiss, swedish, east german; but the uniform im posting about today I initially assumed was post war Czech, but after seeing it in person and doing 2 hours of research I came to the conclusion that it is British. As for era, branch and rank I have no clue, if one of you lads would be kind enough to help me identify it, I'd greatly appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Not British mate! Perhaps a good close up the buttons would give a clue? British rank pips are 4 pointed not 5 and I have no idea what is going on with the collar tabs. Similar in style but not British, colonies perhaps? African?

Ost Gewehr Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Thanks for info, here's a picture of button. I've checked the entire uniform for tags or stamps, Nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 What is on the reverse of the button, who made it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Auld Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Looks like a modern 'stay bright' button so from the mid 60s onward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Auld Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Then I would guess something from our one time 'empire' but odd that it has no crown, so perhaps a colony that had achieved independence? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_that_have_gained_independence_from_the_United_Kingdom see list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ost Gewehr Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Alrighty then, much more research ahead. If I find anything else out I'll post it here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
