Jamecharles Posted April 26, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 26, 2014 Hi all i've recently get this one! can anyone help me in find some photos? the seller said as follow: QUOTE Powell collection is offering a complete 10th Cavalry Escort of Honor uniform worn in the 1930's. Here is what the Cavalry Journal in 1931 (Page 61) said "A platoon of selected privates and NCO's has been equipped with the blue uniforms and constitutes the Escort of Honor which escorts all notables visiting the Military Academy" This item concerned the West Point detachment of the Tenth Cavalry. They must have presented a sharp appearance mounted with their new leather laced boots, dark blue coats with yellow facings, sky-blue breeches, and yellow aiguillette breast cords. UNQUOTE Thanks to all for help Giancarlo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted April 30, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 30, 2014 Very nice uniform, the coat appears to be your standard M1902, but as you'll see in these below topics, that the collar insignia should be differant, what one calls Officers type. Not sure if the cape is unique to this particular 10th Cavalry Honor Guard, or all Cavarly units wore it when wearing the Dress Blue Uniform, or other Branches for that matter http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/187501-post-1902-pre-1936-us-army-enlisted-dress-blue-uniform-question/ http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=132581&pid=999931&mode=threaded&start A question for other members, would the visor and chin strap of the Dress Blue Service cap of them days be Black as seen here, or Russet Brown, don't think I ever seen a full color image of the type from the 20s-30s, Garrison Belt, and Cavalry Boots too, Black or Brown?
