Alex K Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 Hi all, another unknown uniform but I suspect Estonian, can anyone identify the medals badges on his uniform? any help appreciated regards Alex K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffig Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 An Estonian lieutnant (A captain would wear four braids on cuff, an oddity ....) in M. 36 Uniform. His arm of service badges are worn on collars (I cannot discern what they look like). He is wearing an Estonian Military Pilot Qualification badges(over his medals). The two badges under his medals are probably unit and/or qualification badges but they are too small for me to tell which. If you can post a close up, maybe that will help.
