Thanks for the thumbs up Kapitein! Yes you ID'd it correctly! Its indeed a very rare Dutch colonial forces (KNIL) mannequin! You won my quiz. Note its not just a uniform jacket, its actually a complete set: jacket +matching pants (+ ofcourse Klewang and gear etc....). A Manion's score (late nineties) which was incorrectly described as being 1930's Italian and I got it for 90 bucks (tunic+ matching breeches!). Nick
PS: re NSB visor comment: the dust covers up the moth holes nicely! Just kidding! I'll get my duster out!

post 154: Its Dutch East Indies KNIL jacket with KNIL helmet, very rare!!!!!!!!!
yours in better (minty) condition than the one in Delft museum in Holland!
awesome collection!!!! Hard to beat
thumbs up from Holland

KNIL on 163

So I won! Whats the prize! Private tour???
I see another KNIL jacket on post 163 !
also a Captain ( 3 stars?)
Looks like summer tunic with the Dutch lion buttons?
Love this stuff! You need one of those straw KNIL hats though ( impossible to find but I am sure you will one day...)

ps: you need a better camera aswell! (or read the instruction manual ?)

I agree some of the pictures were archive pictures taken with a junky camera many moons ago... I have a good one now (and more experience with taking digital pictures!). That I can afford, a quality camera, but a KNIL Dutch straw hat I can not... unfortunately! I was actually offered such a hat for the price of a decent car (used) last year. Yes Post 163 is also a KNIL (officer's) tunic. Good eye! Tailored in Holland so most likely an "on leave" uniform, as its rather thick for the tropics!
