I'm hoping that someone can help me out here.
I have a 1950's era red tunic for a musian(?) in the Coldsteam Guards. It has the decorative "tape" across the chest and on the sleeves. It has the blue and white fringed "nests" on the shoulders.
My question is this:
From an examination of the sleeve it looks like there were sergeant's stripes on it at one time. Were they worn on both sleeves or one? And does anyone have a photo of what it would look like ? I would like to try to aquire one (or, if two were worn, then two) to restore the tunic.
It's really impressive as it is, but I would like to get the chevron(s) if at all possible.
Thanks !
