Hi all ! This is out of subject, but I suppose that they are many police cars lovers here... And here is a curiosity. The mayor of Montpellier really loves his cops, see what new toys he bought for them. A car which is not imported to France. For each vehicle ( they are just three ) the invoice is a...

Hi ! Of course, many rulers or discoverers gave their name to a country, but there is no example, nowdays, of a family which is the owner of a whole country, except... Saudi Arabia, because of the "Saudi" Dynasty. And the "blue with a horizontal yellow stripe", which doesn't exis...

Yes, Miklos, you're right, and probably also in the book ( equally misspelled ) ; " Ceskoslovenske Lidove Armadni " ( Sorry, Sorry Pavel...), and also in the five-volumes work about the history of the Czech Army from the beginning up around 1970. It was published in the late eighties ( the...

Hi Miklos ! Thank you very much for this correction. Of course, I noticed that, but, since I don't want to play at the "arrogant Frenchie" game (seeming always tracking a mistake as an offense ), I frankly prefer that someone else does that !!! Little precision : all ranks are addressed &q...

Hi All !! Well, there is also something what I would like to point. I think, that for the accuracy of this website, that sources are to be quoted. Although It is easy to find the rank insignia of such countries as USA, UK, Spain, Belgium, or even Estonia, Latvia etc... elsewhere, for others, like Ko...

Hi Everybody ! ...Going to the fourth page !! Maybe, an alternative solution is the use of some "grid" ?? Do you know the nice DIA rankwallcharts ? Those I have are from the 80's, but it was a first attempt to put all the rank insignia of the world...( Of course, the equivalency was given ...

Hi Everybody !! ....I think I've already spoken of that, but there is also another book : "Police Uniforms of the World", by Blakeslee, pub. around 1934-35, which is more or less of the same kind as Ingleton' s one. It describes the rank insignia but without illustrating them. I know also ...
