Coldstream Guard Officer Crimea Uniform

[zane666]

I'm wondering if anyone can help? I'm about to start jeff Shiu's Coldstream guard and i'm having no luck finding a back view of the coatee and bearskin, heaps for privates and Grenadaires, but alas no officer.

Thanks in advance
Zane

Hi Zane,

The uniforms of the Coldstream Guards and the Grenadiers are basically the same the only thing s you should note that
1, The plume is red and worn on the right side.
2, Buttons are in pairs
3 Where ever you see a grenade on a grenadier a coldstreamer would have a Garter Star for an officer this would be gold with a red cross in the centre

Alas I'm buggered if I can fined a picture of the rear of a coatee but I hope this helps
Mick
