What about one of these.  Don't know what I did wrong there. ::)  Was going to paste a pici but it didn't work.

Check out British uniforms 1879. Zulu Wars.

You could be right Norman.  He needs a wash and brush up and a new close up pici. There is another I.D. point, the buttons on the back of his jacket.
Deadlock, come on, do your research.  THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE.   ;D

Nick, I think your looking for a level of accuracy that a lead soldier just doesn't have. I'm pretty sure it's an officer (sword) from a set replicating Boer War soldiers ???
