Simon Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I am trying to identify the uniform on the model soldier made by Howard Willetts. He produced limited edition British regiments from around 1935 to 1970. Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbintayab Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 SO far my little knowledge, it is not British military uniforms. It may be German. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter monahan Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I agree - German/Austrian or possiblyone of the Scandanavian countries; late nineteenth or early twentieth century I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocad Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Looks Austrian to me, although I am no expert in this particular area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theironduke1 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) This is the uniform of an Under Officer at the Valley Forge Military Academy in Wayne, Pennsylvania. I am sure of it for several reasons, the main one being that I lived a 1/4 mile from the academy for 15 years or so and used to love watching their Sunday parades. What I also found interesting as a former British soldier was that all their drill instructors at that time were ex Grenadier or Coldstream Guardsmen who were paid handsomely I understand. Their current Bandmaster is from the Royal Marines ... see photo. http://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-14012-0-33647000-1362264846.jpghttp://gmic.co.uk/uploads/monthly_03_2013/post-14012-0-88472400-1362264846.jpg Edited March 2, 2013 by theironduke1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
