GreyC Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hello, can anybody tell me to what country this soldier/this uniform belongs? Somebody suggested Switzerland. Thank you! GreyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jf42 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Could he be Italian? There's a certain effortless elegance about him- although the cap might not be quite right. It looks like he's a cavalryman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 GreyC : Its hard to say . the mostrina (collar Patch) is not visible . shoulder boards also not are carried on the Pastrano (coat) A closer view of the cap badge may help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
