Luftmensch Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I don't know anything about these...if anyone can spot anything odd or interesting I'd love to know. The cap seems to match the cuffs--Lt. Col. But what are those shoulder straps--just decoration? I see thread along the shoulder closer to the neck. Is that for attaching dress epaulettes? I also wonder if this is a wartime model tunic, and am I right in thinking this could have been worn thru 1922 when the distinctive uniform came out.? I was told the brassard does not belong, should be worn on a matching black tunic, and may be fake. Many thanks for any info... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Its a tunic of the Aeronautique Militaire , for a Lt Colonel and the shoulder tabs (passants ) are for the use of Dress Epaulettes behind . the winged 5 points star on the collar patch denotes a Pilot . Iam inclined to believe that your tunic was used during the WW1 or perhaps until 1923 when the new uniform for the Aeronautique was reglamented , a uniform that was grey blue in colour , darker than the Bleu Horizon . the Louise Bleu uniform for Officers was reglamented in 1928, six years before the transformation of the Aeronautique in the Armee de L Air . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftmensch Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Thanks, Bayern...what I hoped to hear. The brassard is fake, I've learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
