Hi,
If anyone can date this photo I would be extremely grateful.
Also if anyone can identify the clip he is wearing.
Regards Hilary

Quite difficult as he's in uniform however the general style is 1870's.

Do You have any idea what the uniform is? I believe this gentleman worked for the Bombay & Baroda Railway as a Sub Conductor. Having put that information in I may be sending people off on the wrong track.

Most military photos are in dress uniform which gives a better idea. This man appears to be in normal daywear. I would put it on the armed forces board & see if anyone can id it.
