Hallo aktionoke
- the stars with five points, embroidered on the collar, were incompatible, in my opinion, with the frequent washings of a white summer uniform.
- the metal straps were for the full dress grey-green uniform of the company officers of heavy artillery. On the white summer uniform were used shoulder straps made of grey-green fabric, lined in white and with embroidered badges of rank on the top.
- The ribbons of the medals show that this officer did a two-year campaign in World War I (probably 1917-1918) and a one-year campaign in World War II (probably 1940). Overall twenty-four years to remain captain seem to me a little too much.
Therefore, it is possible, in my opinion, that all these original objects belonged to the same officer but have been mixed in a careless way.Comment
