    Hello,

    could anybody help me with this Dutch pre-1940 Husar uniform I bought?

    I don't know how the lanyard should be placed on it, for the moment I have improvised it in the way it looks the most logic, but I almost know for sure it is the wrong way.

    The uniform is from a blue Dutch husar, a sergeant, it's a regular troops lanyard(don't know how to translate exactly into english).

    The regiment was created in 1814 as the 4th husar regiment by Willem Francois Boreel.

    WF Boreel got hold of a noble title in 1821.

    The regiment became: the Husar regiment of Boreel (instead of the 4th regiment).

    The color this regiment weared is blue, therefor they are called the blue husars.

    I have a book on fourageres/lanyards, it explains what they stand for, however I don't see how it should be worn on a uniform, I know how normal ones should be worn, Husar uniforms aren't even mentioned, the lanyards are also different then the normal ones so I have no clue at all.

    Thanks for any help!

    kind regards,

    Roeland

    Silly me :banger: , I accidentaly found a picture from the Dutch army on the internet with Husars on it, I bought the uniform with lanyard, but it is not lanyard but a kind of ceremonial belt (don't know how to translate ''sjerp'' in English), so it should go on the waist, which made more sense when I put it on the uniform, the real Husar lanyard is red with white.

    Herr General,

    what kind of medals do you have?

    I'm always looking for nice medals on uniform, I want to make them look at there best complete with fouragere's, ranks and medals etc.

    send me a PM, and I'll let you know if it is what I'm looking for.

    kind regards,

    Roeland
