Another question mark, this could be Commerical or homemade, it's hard to tell, as it may have been repainted, if the former, but seems to be a single [white 'styrene] moulding with glued arm, which would be unlike the normal/expected basis of the latter?
I think he's Danish and possibly from a while back, the Oslo Royal Guards can be found wearing these helmets, but only with white trousers as a summer uniform, while with the blue trousers they are usually to be found these days in bearskins, so maybe mid-20th Century 'colonial' style?

I think he may be Portuguese Hugh.
Cheers Paul, that narrows it down, is it the headdress? He doesn't have the cross-straps of the Danish guards either?

Do you remember the two Portuguese dealers who used to come to the PW Show in Richmond? I bought mine from one of them. He told me they were made in Portugal. Some sort of Presidential guard I think.
Yes, I've googled them, it's still not the commonest version of their uniform, but you're definitely right! Niw we need a maker's name!
