It looks European, possibly French|?

Hi Chaps

I agree with Simon, it does look European.

It might be French, they certainly use/used similar bars on officers shoulder boards. I think 2 bars = Lieutenant or equivalent. That said, I'm not entirely sure about France as various other European countries wore similar, possibly copied from the French.

Pity the button is missing, that would probably have resolved it.
