Major and Lt. are not in the same category. so you can't compare them with the same way you compare the other two--Lt. gen and Maj. Gen, which are in the same category. Anyway, see, this is a defect of your language, even you get confused. :lol: :lol: :lol: In the Chinese "great" "mid...

Major and Maj. Gen. are in the 3rd place of their respective category. Lt. Col. and Lt. Gen. are in the 2nd place of their groups. So Major "something" and Lt. "something" usually give the impression of 3rd and 2nd places. But in your example, Major and Lt. are not in the same ca...

There are huge differences between Eastern and Western Asia in origin and culture, So Asian mostly refers to the Eastern people. Western Asia is usually called mideast together with Northern Africa.

if these new ranks are adopted, will everyone just start from the lowest rank just like those who just registered here? Not necessarily, if more ranks are added, the minimum required number of posts for each EM rank can be increased, everybody (except "leaders") gets demoted to Pvt, Pvt. ...

Here I'd like to introduce to you the rank system of our Chinese forum that Zdzislaw mentioned. just for reference. We use the milit...

Chinese Rank Insignia for trade

Chinese Military and Police Rank Insignia, branch insignia and a few uniforms for trade. I prefer to trade for East German, Soviet or US uniforms and insignia, but other country's stuff will be considered. A few pictures.

I wear uniforms at home (not everyday) and in collector's party, cos I guess if I walk out on the streets in old style or foreign uniforms, I'll get a lot of attention and might be thought weird or intellectually something.... :oops:
I wore current uniforms out several times.

Would you like to introduce yourself?

Gentlemen, I think there are very few people that have the same interest in rank insignia as we do in anywhere of the world. we are the "weird" kind. :-) The forum brought us together from different parts of the world, I think it would be interesting to know each other. Would you like to i...

My Suggestions

1, How about open a section for collecters to show and trade their stuff with each other?

2, Mention the names of the information providers on the corner of the insignia page which they provided information on. ----A way to show respect and acknowledgement to their work.

Just some ideas.:-)
