Well, the 19th century Texas Rangers were definitely a quasi-military, but non-uniformed, force. Seems that would be a "natural" for you, Sir!

While the GAF's primary focus is on the Victorian-era military, we also include those quasi or paramilitary forces that provided security on the frontier such as the Texas Rangers, Canadian "Mounties", and local militia forces. Some, if not most, of these units didn't have a uniform - or even a recognizable insignia of some kind and the men just used whatever clothing, gear and firearms they had. And, as pointed out by River City John, there were a large number of civilian auxilleries in support of the military.
As a reminder, the GAF does not require anyone to wear a uniform (except for the Battle Rifle competitions), though we highly encourage it. That said, I suspect that probably 90% or better of our membership does perfer to shoot in CAS-style competitions in uniform.
