I wonder if there was a uniform for members?

[Chris Boonzaier]

Hi,

 

does anyone know what the different kinds are? There seen to be 3 different kinds (Excluding those in the top line), the largest being 24mm, then a middle size, then some the shoulder board size but without the screw posts (The size with the chain).

 

If I remember correctly, the one with the chain is for an officers cape?

Best

Chris

Super, thanks! That means the buttons there are brobably the full set of a uniform like this, maybe even cutt off the uniform and kept in a box while the uniform was trashed ???

[dedehansen]

I don´t think, that the uniform was trashed, I believe it

was tailored as civilian clothes.

Hi all. I know this is an old thread but saw it was on the Imperial naval buttons. There's a youtube series of a girl and her mom who mudlark over in the UK and they found what I believe is an Imperial German naval button. I've found examples to match but not one with the rope border around the outer edge of the button. Have I missed the mark on this or is it a rare type or what? Hope one of y'all can help out on this.

 

Fingers tightly crossed!

 

Many thanks!

No thoughts, ideas, comments, info? I thought for sure one of y'all would be able to nail it down.
