Dolfek Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone, I would like your opinions about this Air Force Major (Music Band) uniform. I´m not an Air Force expert, but I have some doubts about being 100 % original. It looks to me like a put together, so I have some questions. First of all, the belt. Isn´t it an Army type? Shouldn´t be blue instead of red? Second, the collar bages. Aren´t this ones for Air Force General? About the cords, not a clue. So you opinions would be of much interest for me and very appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. Best regards, Dolfek. Edited September 11, 2009 by Dolfek
Valter Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 The belt is army, yes (it should have blue backing for air force). Collar badges are good IMHO, musicians wore general-style collar badges on concert uniforms (100% for army, but probably was the same with the navy. Check the stitching and craftsmanship (for collar pathes, shoulder straps, arm patches) - if these are good, it's probably a genuine one. All messed-with uniforms I've seen had sloppy home-made stitching of details.
Dolfek Posted October 2, 2009 Author Posted October 2, 2009 Thanks Valter. It´s what I thought about the belt, but the cords/lanyard it ´s what really keeps me confused. I´ll have a look at the stitching. Thanks very much. Best regards, Dolfek.
