Default RMA uniform complete at last

Hi Guys,
Well I finally completed my RMA uniform. Took some time to get the last piece which were the trousers. Managed to get a 1916 dated pair in lovely condition.

Can anyone give we details of any differences in a RMA four pocket blue tunic from pre 1923 and post 1923-1952? I presume the buttons would have been RMA instead of just RM? Also flaming bomb instead of globe and laurel.

One last question. Does anyone know if they used a shoulder title (RMA)?
Regards
Irv

PS Ever thought it might be getting out of control!

I would presume that the blue uniform would have had the same shoulder title as the field service uniform = RMA, which is a straight inline title. If searching for a pair, do not confuse it for the Royal Malta Artillery title, which is curved upwards. You may have difficulty finding a complete set of RMA buttons regarding a matched set. Good Luck in your search. D.J.

Thanks guys,
Only wanted to show my completed RMA display but thanks for all the nice comments. Here are a couple more pictures. If only I could get to the other end of the room I would show you what’s behind me Sorry for the angle of the pictures.
Regards
Irv
