the two branches in a cross in the blue part of the embroidery confuse me.
I can also could not find something similar with the same marks (branches in a cross)?
I would also like to know the approx date of this uniform...
This is a cerimonial uniform for an envoy holding the rank of Ambassador.
After 1954 only Ambassadors and Ministers I & II class were given a uniform to wear. In hot and tropical countries the uniform was white; for the rest of the world the uniform was black.
For late type of uniforms it is possible to date using the stamping on the buttons. For the older ones it is possible to give only a timespan.
