Was sorting thru toy box over the weekend and stumbled upon this unit. White sun helmet. Black gear and leathers. Dark blue epalets. Officer has blue and gold cuff bands on sleeve of jacket. Officer has black band around his helmet with single gold device in front center. Was in a batch of Peking 1900 colonials but all the delegation units are accounted for in their boxes. I can email pics to anyone who is curious and responds! Cheers! Jeff |

Uniform is off white. I have looked in the Osprey Books on Peking, Osprey Boxer Rebellion; the Vanished Armies; Military Uniforms of 19th Century. Also rear of helmet is slightly longer than front. There are bands on the enlisted helmets, but they are not painted. |

Sounds like the figures are meant to be Italian. |
