Andrew Upton Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 Not too sure whether GW or later, but never mind I like them. I would suspect later than WW1 - typical WW1 examples have the gold braid extending right down to the base of the tabs, eg: Kitchener: http://mylifeinknitwear.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Kitchener-1.jpg French: https://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6218/6282413701_1caaf24832_z.jpg Wilson: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Henry_Hughes_Wilson,_British_general,_photo_portrait_standing_in_uniform.jpg Haig: http://www.douglashaigfellowship.org.uk/images/haig.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 12 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2014 Thanks Andrew, You are right, I looked at portraits of General Officers up to the present time and they are as you described. In fact I didn't see any that matched mine. Maybe 'Grumpy' will have some thoughts on it. khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 12 July , 2014 Share Posted 12 July , 2014 Any chance of a close up on the buttons? I agree, the leaves are far too short from the edge from either WW1, WW2 or post war(s). Might not be British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 12 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 12 July , 2014 This about as good as I can get it on macro without it becoming blurred, it has a sword & baton surrounded by a wreath, khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 20 November , 2015 Author Share Posted 20 November , 2015 Not too sure whether GW or later, but never mind I like them. khaki Thought I would revive this one and see if anyone had any new thoughts about the origin of these tabs. help please khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaki Posted 9 January , 2016 Author Share Posted 9 January , 2016 Continued investigation (on-line) seems to suggest that these are Canadian, probably post war, not definitely determined yet. Canadians help please khaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
