JudgeBagodonuts Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Philadelphia has mounted police. The city troop is PA National Guard. I can't recall a time when the city troop was called upon to restore order. Mostly, they parade any chance they get. And why not? They've certainly got one of the more fanciful dress uniforms on this side of the pond! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Not Grimsleys or Ringgolds or McClellans. Look like English jumper to me. Could be European military. I recall seeing a WWI Austro-Hungarian saddle that looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
