Wild Bunch Naval uniform
« on: October 03, 2023, 07:03:48 PM »
Looking for period correct Wild Bunch Naval blue undress uniform (1913). It's going to have to be a reproduction because this tall Norwegian is a lot bigger than they were then. ;D

I would love a 1904 Marine uniform like they wore in The Wind And The Lion. Have a nice Krag.

Go here for the complete US Navy Uniform Regulations, which you can use online or, better yet, download a complete PDF file (download options at lower right on the page this link will take you to) -

https://archive.org/details/1905UniformRegulationsOfTheUnitedStatesNavy

I gather the 1905 regulations were the first to include illustrations (photographs) of the uniforms, including rank insignia, etc., and were in force until 1913 ...

Didn't see any sailors in the movie, must have been when I went for popcorn.

No sailors in The Wild Bunch but weren’t the troops manning the Colt 1895s sailors in The Wind and the Lion?

Indeed they were.  Sailors were often part of landing parties.  Loved that movie!

You are going to want the look into the US Navy's occupation of Veracruz (April 21 to November 23, 1914)
This is the time frame of the Wild Bunch & Mexican Revolution
