Monsieur Hulot Posted January 9, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted January 13, 2014 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
