I'm a visual guy, so in the spirit of "I swear I'm not crazy" this is why this one is giving me a headache. Not perfect lighting, but aimed to take similar slices of the various examples supplied by Charles and Tony of Train, and (from the previously linked forum) from the German Historical Museum and HH of what seem like solid Chaplains. The current example is in the middle. The Train caps shown here are indisputably blue - but this guy seems to almost be a blend of both, skewing to purple. I agree with Charles - a pic or two in daylight would be great!

This could go on forever, the first photos that started this thread looked bluer that's why I said Train,
Then we got other photos that looked more darker purple that's when I said Uhlan18.
What is the true color?? I don't know but neither of the groups of photos given so far have convinced me that this example is the shade of Purple used by the Clergy.
Could I be wrong sure but all I have to base my opinion on are the photos that we've been given so far.
Unless we have a Train cap, a Ulan18 cap, this cap and a known cap used by the clergy in the same room for a photo shoot the world may never know.

Right?! The last one is the hardest bit, IMO. I've not seen many unquestionably legit Chaplains in the wild. One of the many overlooked areas in both references and collections.
On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoy the expertise, analysis, and partnership of this Forum.
