Further uniform inspiration





These Swedish uniform items from 1910 caught my eye

Possible uniform for the Duchy...

Plume and trims in Rose perhaps- once more let me know what you think!

1930's Tradgardland

Another couple of images which have inspired my thoughts today...
1940 Danes and
modern ceremonial Swedes. I do find the Danish Guard uniforms very inspirational too...
More planning to do. Does anyone know of suitable figures for these and those in the previous post?

The Duchy of Tradgardland - a 20th century survival...

Jean Louis has persuaded me to investigate The Duchy of Tradgardland in the 1930's... As part of this process I have collected these images of 1930 Swedish and Danish uniforms. I am rather drawn to the coloured image of the Swede marching in blue- homeguard ww2.
As Tradgardland has always operated as a militia based force it seems very suitable . I will pipe the uniform /depict the collar in Rose -the Ducal colour.Off now to do some more researching. As ever let me know what you think...
