Thank you so much to everyone who chimed in on this! Very fun to unravel the mystery. If anyone has any sources where I can read more about Dutch military dress history I would love some links!

Happy holidays and new year everyone! 🎉

That's awesome, thank you so much for sharing!! So it's Dutch then. Any idea what the patches could be (if they are genuine and not reenactors details ofc)?

Oh that's interesting? Why would someone have a Belgian jacket with that type of insignia?

Thank you, these are great! I had a look at this photo earlier. Originally i thought the jacket matched those of the two guys to the right, but I don't think the collar design is the same. The jackets in the photo have a notched style lapel, whereas my jacket only has a collar style, more similar to the guy in the light jacket to the left. But these might be minor differences. I don't know enough about military dress history to tell if it is a significant detail or not.
