Well, no luck on this forum, but I spoke to a dealer at a recent Military show and he confirmed that the blue jacket is pre 1830; he admitted that he was not a gentleman, prehaps that's why he knew?

I have acquired these two jackets, which I believe to be French Hussars Dolman from the mid to late 1800's. Can anyone please confirm this, or have any more info on these two? Thanks. (When I can get a photo on here!!!!)

Thanks for your reply Djedj. I have now had further 'experts' examine the Dolmans. The general consensus seems to be that they have both been used as theatrical costumes; the Brown Jacket was made around 1900, using original buttons, but the Light Blue jacket, is in fact pre 1830; the giveaway is the small size, the circular quilting to the inside front and the general quality of manufacture. So the Blue one would seem to be the real thing!
