Can someone help me identifying this tunic. I never seen one like this. Is this a periodic tunic for navy officers? Who wear such a uniform and have someone a picture with an officer wearing a uniform like this? US WW 1 navy tunic Regards Alex

Ok Brain i agree with your plan. Realy nice album. Grat idea. Regards Alex

Great group. Vary interessting and of course realx rear. Regards Alex

Yes of course, for war awards. Regards Alex

Sorry i mean the Badge on the right of the first row. I don't like this one. The left one is an period made badge. Regards Alex

Hallo Fergus, do you think the left one in the first row is an original? Thank Alex

Hi Fergus, can you show the back of the screw back piece. Thank Alex

Have someone a picture of him out of a book or another source. Regards Alex

Of course a vary strange piece. Looks like a Maybauer gilded army observer badge. It is vary interessting that the plate is not gilded only the badge. I don't thing he was an navy officer. Maybe he was an early army observer later changing to the Luftschiffer. But why gilded? Regards Alex

Great, great. Thank Alex
