If the King bears the Ceremonial Tenue (CT), the following variants have been established for this purpose:
The traditional Great Tenue (Tenue 1) with the addition of the Royal Distinctive
The CT for the Royal Land Force is based on the Chief officialue as with interruptions and various detailing in use of 1814-1910. The embroidered smears are placed on a ponceaurode surface, with a hand-embroidered carteledge that runs down the sleeve of the sleeve on both sides. The Royal distinctly is worn on the epaulet.
The CT of the Royal Air Force is equipped with a double wide galon and the Royal distinctly on the undersleeve.
The Royal distinctly is a combination of three of the regalia, namely the Rijksappel, the Rijkssword and the Scepter. It gives with the Reichstsword the security and defense of our territory and the free world (the Rijksappel) again; the Scepter points to the dignity of the King. The Crown has been expressly disregarded in this regard, since its use impair the exclusivity of the Royal distinctly, as many rank and function characters have a combination with the Crown.
Rowded 1 P. Content of silver distinctly composed of the rice apple, sword and scepter. All contour and ajour sawn. Format approx. 75 x 35 mm thickness at the highest point approx. 5.00 mm, a number of details are to be paid. Reverse side is equipped with 2 screw fasteners.
