Guest Rick Research Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 No markings anywhere? Nothing on the buttons?This looks like generic 19th century-style Continental horse artillery to me-- Dutch or Belgian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I tend to agree with Rick: not British. The braiding doesn't look right for British, which tends to run in straight lines horizontally across the chest but without the 'connecting' loops this one has. The 'crowsfoot' on the sleeves looks wrong too: British would have three equal size loops, I think. But it does say "gunner" to me to.Colour is dicey, given both the probably age and the idiosyncrousies of colour photos, but the red doesn't look right for Uk either, even faded. It actually appears orange on the site here, which if true would maybe suggest Dutch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) I'm not sure my description of the 'loops' was all that clear, but you can easily see the differences in that last post.

Ulsterman Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) I think it's Dutch horse artillery @ 1820-90. The orange piping is very Dutch and after Waterloo the Netherlands went through a British uniform "phase".

Roeland Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 hello Gents,I lost the topic, didn't see where it was removed to and though it was deleted I was told it could be a pre-1842 Brandenburg hussar uniform. I don't think it is Dutch.The color is dark blue and red.here are more pictures of it, don't mind the medals on it, they don't belong to the uniform: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
