Fantastic piece, and I would imagine pretty scarce.   As a side note to your write up, the Hutu's are estimated to have killed upwards of 1 million in that short period using mostly small arms and machetes. On a mathematical level, arguably more efficient than the concentration camps of WWII. On a moral level, simply appalling...    Scott

Sadly, that was the only markings I could see. One character is better than no character anyways.  Thank you for looking! mikie

Any uniform pieces anyone has? Would love to see them! Tunics, smocks, German, Japanese, British, French Indochina? 

Hi Mikie, all I can read is this single character which looks like the number five, it's not much but I hope it's a start. Are there any other marks or writing?                   Bill

When a museum was reorganized in Russia, they sold off some of their stuff in the 1990's was what I was told by the seller. Why I am afraid to donate my stuff to a museum. So, guess this is WW1
