OSWALD MOSLEY UNIFORM REFERENCES

 Some uniform references for the Tenth Anniversary Free Giveaway VBCW Figure :

The orator in full flow. This is the Warlord figure stance, but Mosley is in his "fencing jacket" fatigues
rather than full uniform. Behind Mosley and to his right, Neil Frances Hawkins, "Director General"
of the BUF.

The same public meeting, different rhetorical pose.
Mosley is surrounded his personal protection guards,
known as "The I Squad" or "The Biff Boys".

Different meeting, different uniform. This is the full
uniform as modelled by the Warlord figure.

The same uniform, now in colour. The (half cut off) figure to the left
is William Joyce, then the BUF's "Director of Propaganda" (and for a short
 while, until 1937, Deputy Leader) later to achieve notoriety as Lord Haw-Haw
and to be hanged for treason.


A close up portrait. The cap has both the BUF Flash and
the Italian Fasces symbol. Tie and collar, officer style jacket,
brightly polished buttons.

The Bolt Action Mosley as painted by Warlord. The dark grey
trousers/breeches seem, from most of the photo references, to
be historically accurate.

The Bolt Action Mosley painted by No Man's Land Studio.
Black breeches this time, another historical option - but the
pistol holster is an alt history invention (and surely should
be black leather, rather than brown).

A close up reference for the facial detail - and a front cover that
the Editor of Tatler will no doubt be keen to forget!
