Description I know, officers didn't do Sentry duty. Well, lets say observing the battle field for tomorrow eh? Anyway, me, in my Lieutenant Colonel from the Royal Devonshire regiment uniform, like the house this was taken at, from the Victorian/Edwardian era.

The shop I bought the officer's pith helmet from is now closed. Tunics like the one in the photo come up fairly often, but are very expensive due to the quality of the tailor who made them, as well as the gold bullion weave in the cuffs and collar. The one I have is a tunic that belongs to a Lieutenant Colonel of the Devonshire Regiment and is about 130 years old. Now, I found you an example of one on ebay, which is a modern one that belonged to an officer of the grenadier guards: [link] It however is 500 pounds, or close to 800USD.
