Yes Jef, this is a lovely one.

VC89 Here a picture of the bleu dress from a Belgian officer. Are those ribbons all in the correct places ?

Thanks for the feedback gentelmen.

Another example of the arbitrariness of the officer. (this uniform is also named) for example, the sabers are both unturned on the ribbon. I think the military cross is not in place. But who cares ?

Thanks Jef 1. Legion d'honneur officer (France) 2. croix de querre ww I (France) 3. Ridder in de orde van Oranje Nassau sectie militair. (Pay-Bas) Thats the way I got this jacket many years ago, and thats the way I keep it. I have seen al lot of "not official' kinds of wearing the medals an the medalribbons on the jackets. Also pay attention to the lower pockets. These are not the pockets of the model 1935 (harmonica), but just flat pockets on the uniform. I also have one (with those flat pockets) dated 1938 !! The Belgian officers took the regulations not too close I have encountered this during the long of collecting. A, example Admiraak W. Herteleer sharp of Great Cross order of the Crown. Star on his breast is Great Officer of the order of the Crown.

Here is a picture of a service dress of a Belgian Lieutenant General dated 1940. The medals are substantially medals of WW I

Thx Hugh. Maybe someone has that knowledge on this forum ?

I'm not sure, but is the colored cap not used with bleu dress ?

My pleasure, Dan

Thx Kris. Anyone have more opinions ?

Hi Guy, Congratulations is also a very nice shako. A few years ago you also sent me these pictures and have them still sitting in my archive. But in the meantime I already have some of these in my collection

I like to present you again a Belgian infanterie shako for a lieutenant of the 1 regiment Chasseurs à Pied (French) / Jages te Voet.(Flemish) This is also a 1893 model. I hope you can enjoy it.

Dear friends, Can some one tell me more about this cap ? age, value etc....? Thanks regards Guy
