Can anyone help with the age of this photo? Also don't know what his uniform is? I know its not Police or Postal. Prisoner, tram worker, soldier of Gordon Highlanders have been suggested on another thread.

Thanks

I just realised you meant post the image on the other thread. I will do that also.
Thanks

I had briefly considered the fact that he might be a prisoner. That could be interesting. It could well be earlier than 1890/1900. I didnt really know but i think other photos in the album are around the 1890s/1900s thats why i plumped for that time.
I am going to try and find images of the other suggestions also.

This is the reverse of the photo below.

Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Identifying a Uniform

I have recently acquired an old family photo album. It is full of photos, unfortunately we don't know who any of them are.
So I am trying to find out any details from the photographs themselves.
There is a photo of a man in uniform taken in Birmingham, possibly around 1890/1900?
There is a stitched on badge on the left chest, it is rectangular with a crown stitched on and the number 92 beneath.
I have been advised that he probably isnt a policeman. I have also contacted the postal museum and they say it isn't a postal uniform.
Trying to find examples of other uniforms i have found quite difficult. e.g prison officer, customs officer?
Does anyone have any ideas as to identifying this uniform?

Thanks
