GreyC Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Hello, can anybody tell me to what country this soldier/this uniform belongs? Somebody suggested Switzerland. Thank you! GreyC
jf42 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Could he be Italian? There's a certain effortless elegance about him- although the cap might not be quite right. It looks like he's a cavalryman.
GreyC Posted February 28, 2018 Author Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Thank you very much gentlemen! Based on your information someone familiar with the uniforms of the Italian army just told me 1st Italian Engineers Regiment. GreyC Edited February 28, 2018 by GreyC
Bayern Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 GreyC : Its hard to say . the mostrina (collar Patch) is not visible . shoulder boards also not are carried on the Pastrano (coat) A closer view of the cap badge may help.
Bayern Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Hello , Crossed Axes ,surmounted with a flaming grenade , appears to be Genio .Engineers of the Royal italian Army . and into the divisions of the branch ,sappers . the others were railways , telegraph and bridge layers . the number 1 inside the grenade may be the regimental .
