I've got a few of me in ceremonials and blues but I don't want to give Interpol the chance to execute that warrant against me.

Nor do I want to give anyone the chance to extract the Michael.

Spoke to a few LG and RHG/D in my time. They used to get wee notes shoved in the top of their boots - some from men too.

I think the uniform pulling power was severely reduced when you were in a garrison though. Garrison girls have seen it all before and aren't impressed. Best results I ever got were by going to James Last concerts on Rosenmontag dressed as a nun.

I sat at the back.

Once I had this interesting experience with a Dutch girl dressed as a sailor. My pals were in stitches at the sight of the sailor and the nun disappearing out of the concert hall.

You can pick the correct picture by looking at the way the buttons are closed.
Left goes over right half of jacket (assuming you are male ...)

Hmmmm it looks like that jacket has had a few collars put on it with the amount of holes, not sure if that is an original collar to the jacket.

Default 10 th Hussar

Like malc has already mentioned the collar badge isn't correct for 10 Hussars , at a guess I would say its an officers 10th Hussars sil/Gilt Tent hat badge .

3748 Hussar

Correct Malc A friend confused the 10th Hussar image for a DHY Bandsman.... I corrected him. He gave the image file its name.
