Hungary M63 Colonel (Panzer) uniform

[Hauptmann]

Hi all,

Well, it's taken a long time... and still a few weeks wait for it to arrive but thanks to Charles (many heartfelt thanks my friend! ) I finally have a Hungarian uniform. These are Charles pics but will take more once I have it and it's on display on a torso.

The badge on the right is the Sports Badge in Silver and the ribbon bar is Two Meritorious Service Medals, 2 Gold Service to the Nation Medals and 25,20,15,10 year service medals.

It comes with the pants. Hoping for a cap for it down the road.

Again many thanks Charles... I could not do it without you! I'm deeply grateful for all your help my friend!

So they lured you over into Hungarian stuff too, eh?

Hi Rick,

Oh goodness... I've been over here collecting Hungarian since before the section got started. Great stuff! And more on the way! Most of my pieces are in what we call the "big thread" (http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11559) but I'm starting to put them into a thread by themselves as well so they'll be easier to reference.

So... can we pull you over to the dark side or are you already "one of the Body"? You get a bonus point if you know that reference.

That is one fine looking tunic. IT is the first armor example I have seen. Congrats!

Hi Paul,

Many thanks! Again I couldn't do any of this without Charles. He's been of the greatest help to me, not only in teaching me what I need to know... and boy do I still have tons to learn! But also in hunting down the goodies and getting them for me for good prices. I'm definitely going to have to name the Hungarian wing of the museum after him!

I can't wait for it to arrive being as it's my first Hungarian uniform. I'm hoping for some more before all is said and done. But the first is always the best.
