Title: Uniforms of the 19th century Qajar Persian armies.....
Post by: rebelzippy on January 05, 2018, 12:46:30 PM

Would any of my learned LAFers have any pictures of potential uniforms of troops making up the Persian Army in or around 1870?  Thinking of adding to my 'fictional 2nd Afghan War campaign intervention forces'.

Thank you in advance!

A range of coneheads in bathrobes?

Westfalia produced Napoleonic era Persians. The uniforms would be wrong but at least the caps would be right and that's probably the most distinctive aspect of the troops and the bit the eye would be drawn to so probably acceptable proxies.
