France General de Brigade

[ccj]

Here's a nice worn tunic in horizon blue for a general de brigade.

Can you show one from the side wth the rank?

If it was named it would be fantastic!!

[ccj]

Has a label but it's packed away because I'm trying to sell home. Never had tabs and has always been a general rank. A lot more wear than photos suggest but still very nice display of wartime tunic.

That is really, really nice....

I would love a French or German generals jacket, especially a named one....

I am fortunate to have 4 french generals tunics and and two German field gray tunics

I would love to get a named one to a General who commanded a division at Verdun. As the French rotated their divisions, and the Germans barely did, quite a few French commanders would do ;-)

At the Museum at Verdun they have Mangin's tunic.... if I could choose a single tunic of any nationality, that would be it ;-)

I am a huge fan of French WW1 military and its war history. The French are unappreciated, especially during the Great War.

Do you have photos? I think one of my generals tunics is named but I'm packing because am selling home and have 3 weeks to get moved.

Love them too!

I am having a cap on my list for quiet some time....

Nice items, thanks for sharing!

My 4th tunic. Another General de Division bit in Horizon Blue. I love the kepi paired with this tunic.

I hope everyone enjoys looking at this. Aside from my German field gray uniforms these are my favorite items.

The sleeve stars on the horizon blue tunics above appear to be silver, not gilt. Is this the case?

I only wish I had my great-uncle's uniform, to go with his sword, helmet, and gas mask.
