Monsieur Hulot Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Have this jacket in my collection, it lacks epaulettes, I have a captain and general, what is correct. Epaulettes in the picture are not attached.
Paul R Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 It is a beauty. Can you please post closeups of the shoulder boards?
peter monahan Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 I would assume an officer who worked his way fro Captain to General and simply kept his junior rank epaulettes. I recently bought a modern Canadian dress tunic which came with two sets of epaulettes, one for Mess and one for Full Dress I think, so it wouldn't be uncommon for a man to have more than one pair of epaulettes, as you can't simply pop off one set of rank badges and put on another with the corded epaulettes, I know, because I've tried, and you risk damaging them, so far better to have multiple sets! Also a relatively cheap memorial of one's rise through the ranks!
