Sorry for the Persian spam - but now all the Persian Units got finished and I am really happy to post these.
Fulfilment of the KS is closing in dangerously. :D

The Shah... Alan had the guts to drop him on a mule. So in case you're wondering while the Iranians still refer to the English as the lesser Satan, here we go! (The king of kings, wrath of the east and lord off all Iranians shall get a proper mount, just in case you're wondering...)

"Before continuing describing changes in the uniform, we first note that it practically did not change for fifty years. In truth, the main innovation for the sarbaz was their own coat (jacket); everything else was very much like the national Persian costume or a simplification of it. Firstly, it consisted of a headdress - the so-called hat of the Kadjar dynasty, which out of respect for the shah was worn by all of Persia, and which the regular forces did not want to forego for any reason, in spite of all the urgings of the French and English. This hat was shaped like a truncated cone about 30 cm high, and was made from black lamb’s or ram’s fleece, with a small cloth indent on top. To be fashionable, the top of the headdress was a little lower in front."

Persians from 1803 to almost 1870. The Afghans even longer. There were still Afghans using their Jezzails in the early 20th Century. Their way of dressing (at least for the irregulars) did not change much from the late 18th century into the early 20th century.

Update in the first post. >:(

These are brilliant, I cannot wait for them to be available commercially. Is the Shah a kickstarter exclusive though?

Yes.
I shall release a very similar set that includes the Imam, the Advisor, the Mule and a slightly modified Shah.

John company's last war by Barbara English.
