p.s. - the green uniform and bugle cap badge were generally used for rifles regiments, chasseurs, jaegers. interesting that an Argentinian mounted unit uses it...

is there a specific unit & story?

p.p.s. - i'd have ditched the red cap bit or 'accidentally' dyed it a darker colour, (or used a nice dark green plume of feathers ). snipers prefer a head shot, but no reason to make it easier for them.

Hello

No. What is depicted in the drawing (Argentine army uniforms) Fernandez Rivas is the official (lieutenant) of the Hunters of the Andes (Army of General San Martin). Witness the cornet in the Morrion (distinctive hunters), apart from the description of the drawn
