922F Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Wonderful uniform! Looks like all buttons are present too! Are there two grommets or thread loops for the MilMerit 4th class? Or is it pinned through the pocket material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it pinned through the pocket material?Pinned through material. The holes line up perfectly with this badge and there's discoloration from a badge being there. It's a little off center but looks right when on a mannequin. Thanks for your kind words. It took me a long time to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 A very nice uniform, Charles! Congrats! :cheers: :cheers: Just the belt - from what country is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
922F Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thank you for the information. Have seen only a few MilMerit pinbacks on uniforms with either grommets or thread loops. Thread loops more usual than grommets, similar to provisions for wearing stars. Again, a great item....did you find anything in the pockets? By the way, I saw similar belts on uniforms displayed in the old military museum in Sofia (ca. 1987). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theodor Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Yes, the belt is similar in appearance - wide, strap through the shoulder, brass parts - but in detail it is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christerd Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hmm , the belt looks very similar to a Swedish Officer belt from 1939, I have to take pics of mine and compare them. I?ll be back or maybe someone knows direct? Christer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Here is a very rare cavalry uniform, landed here a couple of days ago It is a combat tunic for a Leibguardian cavalry officer. Much less spectacular than their fancy red tunics, but also much more rare. The first one I ever see! Too bad for the condition, but again the rarity of the type is more important for me. It is for an officer, with metal threading on the boards and collar. Notice that, traditionally for the combat uniform of the Leibguardians, the buttons are hidden, just like the WW1 uniforms. But it is dated 1939. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theodor Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Nothing can be known, unfortunately. No story, no name. But spoke about this model with some local gurus and it is in fact even more rare than I thought at first :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bet that unit was very smartly dressed for field duty. What else have you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
