Help with Uniform ID on Oil Painting
I have a Huge oil Painting 8' x 4' or so of a soldier, which I bought years ago at a auction. Problem is that no one seemed to know anything about the Country or time date of the uniform. Best guess is WW1 Italian, but not sure.
As a new poster on this forum I am blocked from putting the URL of "Tiny Pics" where I have the pictures stored. If you can help with an ID please let me know. Thanks in advance, Steve |

If I could see it properly, might be able to ID.
Look here (about 429,000 images w/ID): http://www.google.com/images?q=WWI+m...ed=0CCEQsAQwAw |

Okay, here is a period Italian Cavalry Corporal's tunic - pretty close to your example:

The ribbon
I can't be sure of the RH ribbon colors in the painting, but based on the number of verticle stripes, assuming this is Italian, then one ribbon may be Italian East Africa campaign:
They had few ribbons (as was the period norm), but of the ones they had only 2 had 5 stripes, and both were for East Africa. The other variant is blue with black stripes. Hope this might help... |

Not sure of the year as the description says the ribbons run from early 20th century to WWII |
