I was there to pick up the accompanying parade dagger for one of my sons, which I also won, but didn't notice the peaked cap which was in a job lot elsewhere.

It seems this was a collector's estate sale, and there were several boxes of soviet hats, a batch of uniforms, and so on. It I had the money and space...

It's not really my area of interest to be honest, so this was a speculative bid, which cost me £40. This seems cheap to me. I may list on the marketplace in due course if there is any interest.

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)
