Hungary Hungarian LT Col Infantry Tunic

[hunyadi]

Hello all - here is a little tid-bit that was recently aquired. Albeit without the school badge (upper left) and the medal bar. (but it has the loops to mount one) Its a mid-late 1960's offciers dress uniform.

Charles,

Can you tell us a little about the Hungarian school badges please. For example; How many schools are there for officers? What/which school would a man of this rank have attended? I'd appreciate a close up of the school badge so I can get one to match since we have uniforms belonging to that same man. I should have checked your post before I went to the City Market Flea Market this morning!!!!!!!!!!! I orgot to ask for a closeup shot of the crossed rifles on the lapels as well.

Cheers,

Gordon

Hi Gordon -

On vacation right now so I cant post any photos - but here is what I know - the military accademy that officers attended was the ZRYNI KATONAI ACADEMIA. Its written on a silver plate just below the red star. Other ones that are encountered will be for technical schools and the miiltary high schools. But for aspiring offciers it was ZRYNI.

Cheers,

Gordon
