Snoopy Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 HelloI would like to show you some photo's, of norwegian soldiers, from the 19th century. Back when Norway was ruled by the swedish king. I hope you like them.SnoopyThe swedish king. King Oscar II.
Robert Noss Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Very very very nice !!I like them.From what year are these ? Some look like they are from the US-civil war.I always love those really old ones.My oldest photo was from 1865, but I have sold it in the times when I concentrated the collection to portraits of the 3rd Reich. Wish I would have kept it.Kind regardsRobert

I am quite certain, that all the soldiers are in norwegian uniforms of the period. One of the photo's, has Trondhjem printed on the back. It's a city in Norway. I really like these old photo's, and one can get them very cheap in Norway. I found these in an antiques shop, and the shop's owner gave them to me for free, because he didn't see any value in them, and he found it difficult to sell photo's like these.All the bestSnoopy

Michael Johnson Posted April 17, 2008 Posted April 17, 2008 I wondered about the rifles, and found this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KammerladerThe Kammerlader was phased out in 1867, so that would help date the pictures.

I didn't think of, trying to date the rifles.All the bestSnoopy
