@iorisansak It looks authentic, much more than other costumes I've seen! I was thinking of recreating Inkarmat's, but was scared to even start. This might just be the push I needed!
@BribesBrutus@Gribeauval1942 Some uniforms may have been updated, but I have not seen that in surviving examples or period photos. All 1911 regulation ranks had to be replaced with 1916 ranks by the time the 1917 sample were approved, so the 1917 model never had the cuff ranks for officers.
@BribesBrutus@Gribeauval1942 The goal with the 1908 commission being developing M. 1910 after the results of changing M. 1903 to fit the tastes of the Dragoons. The M. 1903 was adopted by the Livgarde in 1909, but the cut wasn't changed at all until 1917, where it was modernised.
@BribesBrutus@Gribeauval1942 Photos show the M. 1903 in use into 1908, with some officers still using the uniform until M. 1910 is authorised in 1911, but attempts to alter M. 1903 to fit preferences do begin around 1906. This effort was first formalised in 1908 though, when it was officially canceled.
@Gribeauval1942 The M. 1903 uniform is rumoured to be where the Germans got grey-green from after overseeing an exercise in 1905. The Danish of course got the colour from Norway, who chose it around 1900-1901 for Jægers.
@Gribeauval1942 The Danish went through a similar situation with the M. 1903 uniform, inspired partly by Norway's experimentation. The M. 1903 was cancelled in 1908, while the Norwegians finalised their uniform sample in 1907. But the Norwegian uniform wasn't standard until 1914.
@Japanese__Army He wears the cap and pants of the Meiji 19 uniform system, but wears the Meiji 38 jacket. What's odd is the rank stars on his cuff, something done during the Russo-Japanese war on the subdued uniforms. Perhaps his tunic is converted from an older one to fit newer regulations?
@meizisamuhara For what it's worth, contemporary European uniform convention is such that for garrison dress, on leave and other less formal occasions, the sword belt for officers is worn under the tunic. Whereas for field and galla, different sword belts are worn over the tunic.
@SamSantala I very much like the unique digit arrangement on the second image! That's something you don't see toyed around with much in such art. Excellent work!
