Whoops, the photos didn't attach . . .I just picked up this Chasseurs d’Afrique Shako-mid-19th century:
I don't know if you remember the 2-foot tall painted metal Zouave statue from the 1870's I brought home from the Chicago show last year, but I picked up the matching chasseur a pied from the same seller (a good deal cheaper) on ebay:

Nice looking piece, but there are a number of errors; French Chasseur jackets had yellow piping and dark green with yellow piping epaulettes, the cap was dark blue with yellow piping, the pants were either dark blue or medium blue/grey with yellow piping.
Sandor,I don't think that's a British officer -- those are Hungarian buttons and the uniform looks Hungarian.
Picked up these cool highland related items: A period Black Watch Uniform and a Skean Dhu engraved in 1861 to (later Lt. General) E.G. Grogan, the commander of the Second Battalion of the Black Watch during WWI.
Think you mean the Boer War as assuming he got the dagger when he enlisted at say 16 in 1861 that would make him 69 at the outbreak of ww1 . His son was in WW1 and won a vc
