The uniform looks good, just 3 suggestions (which you can feel free to disregard if you want):

- If you want to follow SNORist pattern, dark green is for border guard. State security/secret police is dark blue.

- The heart shape just look like an odd choice to me. Other possibility:

- maybe just the axe on a shield with the organisation's unitial (similar to *here*)

- surrounded by a garland

- in front of a cross crosslet (based on one of the kingdom's decoration)

- The pre-communist romanian uniform *here* used a distinctively shaped kepi (of austrian inspiration) that had a high narrow crown and small visor. The regency *there* could have kept using something similar to it (although modernised) as a sign of continuity instead of a russian inspired one:

The heart shape is really a result of the quirks of the man who shaped the Securitate more than any other. I rather like the notion of such a feared organization having an almost bland uniform.

But I must say the pics you've provided seem like a wonderful inspiration for the Grand Princely Guard I was planning on developing--rather like the Blue Hussars in function. Heh heh heh. Zahir 09:33, 25 March 2006 (PST)
