Bayern Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Beautiful . and rare .Military . Hard to date .perhaps a closer photo of the buttons would be useful .because of the crown . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldstream Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very nice uniform but I do not think it is Military, looks like a Victorian Lord Lieutenant or Deputy Lord Lieutenants uniform to me.

peter monahan Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I was going to say the same as Coldstream: Lord Lieutenant of a County in the UK would have been my guess. Very lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry B Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 As already stated Lord LT or Deputy LT is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldstream Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Very nice and would fit well with this uniform, would also need the Swan feather plume for the hat. Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 After i have seen the rose braided on the collar and the crown on the buttons I agree . Its not military . and Victorian .the quality of the braid is superb . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03fahnen Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you very much to all after your indications, I searched, and I think it is indeed a Lord Lieutenant. with a medelo of uniform previous to 1902. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Lieutenant : "The Lord-Lieutenant is the British monarch's personal representative in each county of the United Kingdom" ....

peter monahan Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) You may already have guessed or known this, Fahnen, but the rose for English counties was replace by shamrocks for Ireland, thistles for Scotland and the Prince of Wales three plumes for Wales. So yours is very definitely one of the English counties. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Lieutenant#Uniform Edited December 13, 2017 by peter monahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
