Does anyone make KAR suitable for 1914 in 28mm ?

Brigade, Reviresco, and Battle Honors (on the smaller end). Also look at Foundry to see if they have anything in their Africa line.

Brigade definitely.

if even you will succeed in getting them, Falcon USA ones (sorry not even a list or picts on line) are quite interesting..because they are in the late 20 c. uniform..will tall fez , leather pouches and blue jersey…so they could be used not only in WW1 but also for the small many little actions that saw KARs fighting VS Nandis, Turkanas (even Vs Ethiopian bandits) and against all sorts of tribesmen in British East Africa.

Late 19th century, Italwars?

Sorry Henry Martini..i should have said Early 20 c…i was referring to East Africa and Central Africa Police expeditions from 1902-1904..not only against Nandi..but also Jubaland and Turkana….the bible for references about those small actions from which i get inspirations for a couple of games had been "The King's African Rifles" by Lt. Col H. Moyse- Bartlett
