Do you recognise this uniform?

[Simon]

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.

SO far my little knowledge, it is not British military uniforms. It may be German.

[peter monahan]

I agree - German/Austrian or possiblyone of the Scandanavian countries; late nineteenth or early twentieth century I think

looks prussian

Looks Austrian to me, although I am no expert in this particular area.

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.
