OSUbeliever Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted December 30, 2021 Thank you! Any thoughts on these as WWII or post war productions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted January 2, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 2, 2022 I believe that the "pencils" with the parachutes are Thai and have just been added to the fourrageres. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUbeliever Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted January 2, 2022 Thank you for the feedback. I was thinking these were added on post-war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted January 2, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 2, 2022 For what it is worth, the red fourragere on the left looks like it is probably Thai. I do not believe it to be Belgian. The French fourragere in the center is a modern piece. The Belgian on the right MIGHT be WWII, but would need better photos. The "pencil:" is as I mentioned incorrect for thiss cord.

OSUbeliever Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share #7 Posted January 2, 2022 Oh wow thanks! How can you tell it's a modern piece (French)? Do you think these may be WWII? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan H. Posted January 3, 2022 Share #8 Posted January 3, 2022 The Belgian fourrageres both appear to be WWII vintage. The two French fourrageres are modern pieces. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
