Sharp dressed man

For my recent birthday, John Armatys presented me with this rather nice 54mm metal officer he had found at Tankfest.  I've no idea who he is - the uniform suggests cavalry officer but could equally well be cinema commissionaire!

I can see him becoming a staff officer in the Army of Imperial Tratvia as he looks easily capable of toadying to the Tsar.

Your suggestions for a name for this chap are invited....

He looks a bit like a lion tamer to me, so how about 'Lvov Ukrotitel'. That's the closest I can get to a Slavic sounding name. He can always be a Count if he's to toady to the Tsar.

A lion tamer? I like it! I expect I have a plastic toy lion somewhere....

That certainly sounds suitably Tratvian!

Simple. I like it. And I've found him a lion to tame....

If you give him a chair as well, he can use it to fend off the lion or alternatively toady to the Tzar by offering him a seat.

You see Tim! these things need thinking through. :-)
