Royal Norwegian Life Guards

Gentlemen,

A very difficult issue. The uniforms of the Royal Norwegian Life Guards used during 1930´s, previous to the WW2. As far as I know, the uniforms were totally different from those of the Army.

Many thanks

Pedro

Pedro,
Not directly related to the subject but well worth watching.
Also, if you haven't already seen it there's a nice picture of a 1920s Guard further down the page in mconrad's post.

I just wonder how they manage to do that and not slip on the ice? I'd be sliding all over the place.

I'd like to see the practice runs!
Here's a link with some good close-up views.
