W.Unland Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) Hello,Presented here is an unusual gendarmerie summer tunic in the police "speckled" orange/green cotton fabric.It is unusual in that it has had a brown collar and orange brange piping added over the standard same fabric collar.Oviously the owner wanted to present an appearance more similar to the standard service uniform than a field blouse.These tunics were authorized for all branches of the police, and were not limited to those serving in militarized roles.This particular tunic was undoubtedly used by a civil policeman who wished to maintain a good appearance.

W.Unland Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) The sleeve eagle is of a known acceptable pattern on the same speckled material. Edited June 3, 2007 by W.Unland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.Unland Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 It is original to the tunic as shown by the lack of additional sewing holes in the fabric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
