Royal Navy Captain circa 1721



There is high ranking RN officer from early 1720s. I must admit that there is hint of 1748 uniforms but Colors (other than blue) are not from that uniform stuff. I used period pictures of naval officers and gentleman to create this. some examples http://prints.rmg.co.uk/image/330247/sir-godfrey-kneller-admiral-edward-russell-1st-earl-of-orford-1653-1727 , http://prints.encore-editions.com/0/500/pirates-sir-godfrey-kneller-portrait-of-admiral-edward-russell-earl-of-orford.jpg (here the cuff design is from ) and http://www.britishmuseum.org/collectionimages/AN00476/AN00476504_001_l.jpg

Captain has luxurious outfit and he has cutlass / hanger like so many real officers seems to have.
