Uniform & Insignia & Mixed (Class XVI)
About this product
About this collection
This collection covers 51 uniform and insignia objects catalogued under Class XVI, delivered across 141 images in 45 ZIP assets. Class XVI captures the material culture of military dress and identity — uniforms, badges, medals, and insignia that accompanied the arms in the collection and situate them within the broader culture of military service. Objects span multiple periods and national traditions.
Why it matters
Uniform and insignia objects provide essential contextual material for arms and armour research — weapons do not exist independently of the people who carried them, and the visual culture of military identity that surrounds them illuminates how those weapons were understood and used.
