Chris Boonzaier Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 I wonder if there was a uniform for members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 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 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I don´t think, that the uniform was trashed, I believe it was tailored as civilian clothes. Regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 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! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauptmann Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 No thoughts, ideas, comments, info? I thought for sure one of y'all would be able to nail it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
