Donald Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I've owned a pair of silver plated brass epaulettes with silver bullion fringe for some time and think they are probably French cavalry. Additional details are of interest and I send my appreciation for your research and response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graf Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi Donald, Thes is very nice Pair of Epaulettes. In my opinion they are more likekly to be Italian Epaulettes.--and most likely high ranking officer -the treads are very thick The text on your second listing is in Italian Look for any Makers marks or Silver content marks The ones made with pure Silver plates (Mark A32S) are more valuable This might give you a clue. ..also go to EBay.it ..in the Categories page .click Colizione ..then go to Militaria ..then write in the upper box Spallini ,,and you will see few of those for sale.
