early Romanian Uniform - a bit of boasting and questions...
Found in Bucarest in a shop I have mentioned.
A jacket and belt with shoulder strap and straps for sabre. It is definately from early post-war period - most likely 40's or 50's, since it has "R.P.R." written below state symbol on the buttons and has soviet-like insignia with a rank I do not recognise (not that I am an expert at romanian uniforms, but most likely this rank was abolished or changed later). Also the traditional cut, esp. on the cuffs and material style indicate the early period. Unfortunately, no stamps present The belt may or may not be original to it, but is most likely from the same period or even earlier - I have been offered a later romanian officer's leather belt in Constanta, but it was differntly made and had a stamp. Also condition is similar to the uniform. I was told that it's "gendarmerie officer", but i was also told that it's pre-war (it isn't), so I dont't know if it's true. The colour scheme of the insignia as well as the sabre hangers may indicate law enforcement, but the uniform colour would suggest a military origin. My question is: Can anyone identify the rank and branch? Btw. even the collar tabs are different from traditional Romanian ones which were in use in 50's (see pic) |
