Named Belgian M35 Officer Uniform – Lt. Georges L.L. Saint-Maux – Administration Service
€550,00An exceptional and historically researchable Belgian M35 officer’s uniform set, consisting of the tunic and matching trousers (the trousers are unfortunately not pictured, as they could not be mounted together with the display). The uniform belonged to an officer of the Belgian Army Administration service and pairs perfectly with the administrative kepi previously acquired from the same grouping.
What makes this set especially desirable is the fact that it is fully name-attributed. The interior label bears the name “Lt. St. Maux”, allowing the original owner to be positively identified as Georges L.L. Saint-Maux of Aarlen (Arlon).
Further research revealed Saint-Maux in the well-known “Guldenboek der Vuurkaarten”, where both his full name and portrait photograph are published, giving this uniform a direct and personal historical connection to its wearer. In addition, he also appears on the website of the Fraternelle Chasseur Ardennais, where he is listed among the Chasseurs Ardennais in 1938. During the First World War, Saint-Maux served with the Belgian 10th Line Regiment.
The tunic remains a fine and attractive example of the Belgian M35 officer uniform, showing honest period wear and age. A highly interesting named Belgian officer grouping with documented provenance and excellent research potential.
A rare opportunity to acquire a fully identified Belgian officer uniform belonging to a documented prewar and wartime officer with confirmed military service history.
