Tamás,

Nice display. Can you show us a close-up of the markings on the bread bag please. Are the MG13 mag and case Hungarian marked?

Regards,

Gordon

[Gene]

Does anyone have any Hungarian Air Force uniforms to show?

[Dr Peter P.]

Are the MG13 mag and case Hungarian marked?

They are not for MG13, but for the hungarian 31M Solothurn machinegun.

Péter,

Thanks for the link. Lots of useful information.

[Dr Peter P.]

It's OK, Gordon! :-)
I think there is no enough Hungarian stuff here, so we'll try to balance.

Nobody is interested in this beautyful M39 "Király" submachine gun???

[Gordon Craig]

Péter,

I agree so I'll do some "balancing" by posting pictures of my Csendor uniform. Sorry that I can sho it on a mannequin. The one I have with me is large and the last time I put my Csendor uniform on it an did it up one button came off!

Regards,

Gordon

Hungarian Air Force Uniforms

OK Gene, here you are.

I am especially proud of this set-up. It has taken my quite a while to find all the accoutrements that would finish a complete Hungarian officer's service dress. I started with the uniform, which was significant in itself. I have yet to have any others come up. It came with the rank boards, officer's gold pilot badge and the medals, although the first one was an incorrect NCO service medal. I have replaced it with the Officer's Fire Cross. I was also able to acquire the officer's "boy scout shirt" and official tie. As you can see from the colors of these items, it would have been tough to find a civilian equivalent. I then came across the officer's hat out of Canada of all places. Another needle in many haystacks. The last piece was the belt. I finally had to work with one of the directors of the Hungarian military museum to help me know what they looked like and to track one down from a friend of his. So then here is what you get:


Here is the hat:




And the medals:

Hungarian Air Force Parade

Now on parade occasians, a different belt and dagger were worn. This also took a long time to find. There are plent of daggers, but no belts or dagger hangers. I was so happy to finally be able to take this picture. I put a corresponding parade in Budapest in the background.

Tod,

Thanks for posting these great Hungarian uniform pictures. Rathbone Museum is a great site for information. I visit often.

Gordon
