Original Belgian BUNC (Belgian United Nations Command) Korean War battledress blouse. This postwar Belgian Army example is fitted with period-applied Korean War insignia including the “BELGIUM” shoulder title, “KOREA” shoulder tab, lion-head divisional patch and blue-and-white formation insignia.
Interestingly, the 3rd Division patch is sewed on mirrored (lines should face the other way) but I found evidence in a documentary, where this also occured!
The battledress retains multiple ribbon bars (incl. WWII awards and Korea awards), US Unit Citation, and qualification insignia, giving the uniform a strong and attractive veteran appearance. Inside is the original maker/tailor label marked “Et. Maurice Delholle – BUNCOR”, dated 1949.
A very displayable and increasingly uncommon Belgian Korean War uniform with excellent historical character.
Condition is good overall with normal age and service wear. Insignia remain well preserved and the uniform displays very nicely. Exact condition as shown in the photographs.
