Help to ID a uniform

[Stuka f]

Could this be British, please?

I'm going to stick my neck out and say 'Probably not' without actually doing any checking.  The cord work on the epaulette looks Continental to me and the sash[?] over the right shoulder isn't part of any British order of dress i recognize.

Ok, thanks!

Any idea what it could be?

Super, thanks a lot.

Good thing I didn't guess 'German', eh?  I think I'm right, however, in suggesting that the Greek royal family wasn't very Greek, ethnically speaking.  Wasn't/Isn't Prince Phillip of that lineage?

Dear Peter

You're right, Prince Phillip, the duke of Edinburgh, is indeed a descendant of the greek royal family. But to be completly honest the greek rulers were of Danish descent. All the royal houses were intertwined back in those days, I can remember that Prince Phillip once donated blood which was used to determine whether 2 bodies found in russie belonged to the last tsarevich and the last grandduchess of Russia. They and Prince Phillip came from the same family as the Danish royal house often married into the Romanov family. That is also the reason the russian wear their medals in the Danish manner, being a pentagon.

Kind regards, Laurentius
