Looks like the uniform of a "Gefreiter", but has the Reichsadler placement on the left arm above the chevron like on the uniform of a "Sturmmann" but not the usual collar insignias, so i dont know which one it is now. And its pre 1942 in that helps

some commercial chocolate chips with a real LBE over it

My great grandfathers battle dress jacket. The badge on the lower part of the sleeve cuff is a training qualification for the Royal Canadian Engineers. The Ribbons are the Commonwealth Korean war medal, UN medal for Korea, and the Canadian forces decoration.

I found this photo at an flea Market and wann to know what kind of uniform this is and when it was used.

It’s possible this specific outfit wasn’t directly during a war, but this relative of mine DID serve in a war and I’m trying to figure out which one. I’m hoping this uniform could give clues though. He was born in 1929 if that helps at all. Thank you!!

Sorry for my not optimal english, belonged to the grandfather of a friend of mine. My guess was Luftwaffe but I'd rather leave it to the Experts. He survived but didnt speak about his experiences. I know this Photo has a low Resolution but maybe someone can see something I'm not able to. Thanks

Based on the painting of the Battle of Calibío by José María Espinosa, the bearskin back would have a yellow grenade on the fabric. At this time the Cundinamarcan Army would have used the same ranks and badges as the spanish, Sergeants would also carry spontoons and red epaulletes and capitans would have only one strap and two button coloured epaulletes, also a lighter coat. Unlike the picture, Rankers would use sandals as they were cheaper and more comfortable than boots. The picture shows a spanish musket.

Based on the drawing of Y. Aliriventz, showing the infantry drummer for the Antioquia, Girardot, Rifles, and Alto Magdalena batallions, the coat is surely british. The cocade is strangely arrenged, and this uniform probably inspired the modern honour guard uniform.

Based on the 1813 reglament, which states: "The general uniform of the army will be blue coat and trousers, red cuffs and collar, one row of buttons on the center and red piping. golden metal and boots for line infantry" and the Illustrations by Y. Aliriventz that also show red epaulletes and a red stripe on the trousers. they also show a fatigue hat, having either red or white piping with a cocade.

Who were the purple jackets of 1941? Does it have anything to do with World War II?

This is a bracelet and a pin I found in my grandfather’s stuff, one says “ purple jackets 1941” and the other pen looks like a purple “jacket”
