Ok all,
Not sure if this should go here ... or in the international forum so I'll start here... In the picture attached.... I have shown the 'Whistles' off a General's (gold bullion) aiguillette. These are supposed to be Imperial German.. however they don't match any of the pictures I have been able to find (The 'whistle' part is too fancy.. it appears the German ones were more plain)....
The aiguillette hangs exactly like the German one.........
I know we have some collectors who are heavy into Uniform stuff... so I'm hoping to get some sort of answer on this....
If it's not German...... than which country... the problem is all the European countries in the WW1 era who had royalty.. all seemed to wear these damned things.. and they were all very very close in design....
Cheers
Mark
