International Encyclopedia of Uniforms and Insignia

Welcome to the International Encyclopedia, a #1 site dedicated to collecting and presenting information about the insignia found on the uniforms of various armed and civilian forces and organizations around the world. We present rank insignia, badges, orders, decorations, uniform components and other items of interest used by the police, fire and rescue services, civil defence, army, air force, navy; automobile, rail, water and air transport; border and customs authorities, prison service and many other uniformed institutions since the beginning of the history of their dress.
The encyclopaedia is created with historical accuracy in mind, so we strive to regularly update the data and incorporate new information.
Join us on this unique journey of discovery and help us expand our knowledge of uniform insignia. Each insignia tells its own story and we are here to discover them together!
We are looking for editors and graphic designers for countries or fields to work with us on illustrations for our Encyclopedia. If you are interested, you can write to our email.
