SCW Civil Guards uniform-which one to choose?
« on: July 15, 2021, 06:30:56 PM »
I'm about to start painting a unit of Spanish Civil War Civil Guards and I'm looking for advice. 

I've seen these outfitted in blue or in military green green.  The blue is, I think, their pre-war uniform.   The green was issued, I guess, during the war. 

Was there a formal change of uniform or did both continue to be worn?

Thanks in advance for any help.

OB, Bob Cordery's book La Ultima Cruzada and the Osprey MAA both only refer to the grey-green service dress for the Guardia Civil. The Guardia de Asalto did wear blue.

Thanks very much SJWi.  I'll go with grey-green then.  I'm glad I asked before painting.  Appreciated!
