    Hello,

    Was wondering if anyone well versed in Uniforms could help
    me ID the one's these gentleman are wearing.

    I'm assuming fraternal but could be European Military?

    :)

    Thank you in advance as always!

    Warm Regards,

    Can you try and get a close-up on the hanging medal-like things on the hats?

    I'm getting an Inspector-Clouseau feeling about the guy on the right.

    I lightened it up and cropped the head. To me, it looks like a rose on the medallion on the hat. When I lightened the photograph, it looks like the guy on the right is holding a gun.

    Can't help with what the uniforms are but those cords on the chest are aiguillette & fourragere and the helmet is a pickelhaube with a horse hair plume, strictly for ceremony or parade.
