Austria-Hungary Gold Merit Cross with Crown

It looks like as a funeral piece, I have a FJO knight's cross which manufacture is similar to it. -
RAF Uniform Dating - Help Needed

Thanks Bill for the information. I thought that the colour of the lining is helpful for dating a tunic. The red silk lining is a very interesting info. Balazs -
RAF Uniform Dating - Help Needed

Hi Bill, Thanks for your help. It is a great info, I am not worried about the button in the future. As I see, the inside is grey on the later tunics probably from the 60s, before it was blue? Could it be another crucial point on dating a tunic? Balazs -
RAF Uniform Dating - Help Needed
bazsi replied to bazsi's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Hi Bill, Thanks for your help and fo the links! I thought I have to be aware with the bottom button, because it can be easily change to a standard button. What do you think it frequent? Yes, it has the belt, it is hanging from the back side. I am before the purchase now but I would like to be sure that it is an early post war uniform. Thanks, Balazs -

Thanks! I hope it too. What do you think is it possible that the MID is equivalent to the V-device on various US awards? -
Post WW2 Major General Uniform Tunic
bazsi replied to bazsi's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Thanks for your help! I thought the CB-CBE pair is possible for the top row because both ribbon has the same width. The 2 MID's and The Africa Star with the 8th Army attachment could help to find the original owner, but my search wasn't successful, although I haven't got any access to regiment or other histories which can help... Thanks, Balazs -
What do you think is there any possibility to attach a name to the tunic? Unfortunately the taylor's label is missing. I tried to put a name to it but I haven't got any access to databases, books which could help. I thought CB, CBE, and the North Africa Star with the No. 8 attachment could help. Thanks, Balazs

Shams, Thanks for your help. I haven't got any idea about of which division or arm is from. Regards, Balazs -
Clive, Lukasz, Thank you for your great help and for the link of the database, I am starting the search. Hopefully I can find something. This is a great and enjoyable task I like these puzzles. Thare is also a possibility for this ribbon bar is not the last one so it can be an intermeditae stage. I have checked the tunic, there is no hole for a star on the pocket. Thanks, Balazs
-
It was my first opinion (CB-OBE), but Lukasz has an opinion that the two order needs to be the similar grade. I read previously somewhere that the GCBE-KCBE ribbons are 45 mms wide, the CBE-OBE ribbons are 38 mms and the MBE ribbons are 32 mms wide. Is it correct, has any importance of the width of the ribbon? Thanks, Balazs
-
Thanks for your help! So the CB-OBE doesn't work, it is at least CB-CBE. Unfortunately the tailor's label has been removed from the tunic, there is no name in it. I have tried a brief search but I haven't got any access to databases so I used only the list of the Wikipedia. Are there any public databases or other information resources where I can search for the name? Thanks, Balazs

Hungary Hungarian Generals Insignia
bazsi replied to TeaRex's topic in Central & Eastern European States
Gordon has an impressive collection, these are great General Officer uniforms. The last one, the General Major uniform is a bit earlier from the early 90's (1991-1993). The metal badge for officers which was used instead of the obsolete academic badges were used between 1991-1993. The cloth ribbon bars is an earlier one from the late 80's and the early 90's. A new type of ribbon bars was introduced in the mid 90's. Another uniform from the same person: http://nephadsereg.h...Mk-Scharrer.jpg The cloth ribbon bars was officialy introduced in late 1985 but the general usage started from 1986. You can find other General Officer uniforms in the following site by clicking on each photo which represents the uniform periods of the Hungarian Peoples Army or the Hungarian Army. http://nephadsereg.hu/gyujtemeny.html Regards, Balazs
