Reminds me of some German university student association uniforms.
Here are some photos from the album of Hans-Joachim Züge, who was in a Burschenschaft (student corps) and went on to be a Heer Stabsveterinär. His Burschenschaft was a schlagende Verbindung, i.e. one that practiced the ritualized form of fencing duels known as Mensur (note the cheek scar).

"Best job I ever had."
Is it Turkish language on the picture?
The big picture on top the dedication says :
" Delegaci 1 Zlotu VII Okręgu ZSP, 3-4 Września 1911 " : " Delegates of 1 Rally of the VII District ZSP, 3-4 September 1911. Utica, NY. "
"ZSP : Związek Sokołów Polskich : " the Polish Sokol Society.
