Not much information about the Sikkim Guards, basically a royal or palace guard.
Any information or illustrations of rank insignia?
Colour photos from the 1960s show UK/ Indian nco chevrons, officers have epaulettes .
What was the collar / lapel insignia badge and branch of service colour for the Albanian royal border guard (roje kufitare mbretere)1929-39 and 1943-44 ?
Formed in 1929, part of the Italian finance guard from 1939, reformed in 1943 , lasting till 1944.
Did the Bulgarian national police wear the dark blue police uniform or army uniform with police hat when deployed in Serbia and Macedonia.1941-44 ?
Photo has all 3 in army uniform, 2 with police caps , all with police cap badges.
Could be from a police unit or police leading the anti partisan / kontracete groups.
Seeing the earlier reply about the police and the two photos reminded me of these images of the 105th anniversary of the creation of the Albanian police a few years ago.
Always wondered what the grey uniform was. Must be an officer with the black collar and red cuff / collar piping ,which i assume must be the colour of the collar patches.
