my latest uniform, belonged to a major pasley bart of the berkshire regiment. fits really well, and about the finest uniform i have! love the gold braiding and chinese dragons. the sam brown might have been worn, but there is a specific sword belt they would have worn that i dont have yet. in any case this is the sort of thing they wore in the four feathers... hope its useful

me leaning at home, bit too bright but a good silhouette maybe

Wow, the uniform is really cool^^ Wait..do you collect them? O_o That sounds kind of expensive...must burn a whole right in the wallet! XD

Though the light is kinda bright, the pose and lighting(along with the uniform) actually seem to go really well together.

It costs quite a lot to collect them yes, but i tend to be lucky and get things cheaper than their worth - for the most part, this one included. I've paid up for some in the past though. When you think its one uniform every two months then its not too bad and i havent bought any in about 6 months now...

Where do you get them all?

Ebay mostly, but there are also some devoted militaria sellers/websites and some of the better quality one's i've bought from dealers at fairs. Ebay's got the best choice, but also the most risks.

if you need any links, let me know :D

Hmmm....it does kinda seem like ebay would have more of a risk than anything....just because you dont truely know if the seller is speaking the truth...theres an army store about 15 mins from my house and they have all sorts of stuff! Its pretty neat.

In my attic me and my dad found an old chest....we never knew it was even there and we already lived in the house for about 5 years XD I dragged it down and my dad helped open it...inside was an old military jacket from who knows when, but it was in perfect condition! there we even some patches that were never sewn onto the jacket, one had the owners name on it....the jacket didnt even belong to the people who lived here before us, I thought it did because they were like...really old. haha. There were some other things too....my dad didnt keep the jacket though :( He brought it to the store I mentioned earlier and they actually paid him for it XD

heh, yep, similar design, british cavalry used to wear identical uniforms to the mounties in the 1890's this has got more gold to it though! :D
