Austria-Hungary Collar rosettes

[Vodorosl]

Good afternoon, gents!

Could you tell me if these rosettes are a part of an austro-hungarian military or civil uniform? Thanks in advance. The rosette in question on the first pic is in the middle. If I'm not mistaken, all rosettes are 15 cm x 15 cm. Thanks in advance.

These are very similar to the same type used by uniformed German civil servants back then, so some sort of Beamten.

Vodorosl,

The centre rosette could be from the Austro-Hungarian empire. It looks a lot like th rosettes on my Beamten uniform which dates from the turn of the century. Here is a picture of the rosettes on the collar of my tunic. They are 15mm in diametre.

Regards,

Gordon
