Apaches in the late 1800's / early 1900's in France (part 2)

 

Some great pics of Apaches…Very fashionable style for gangsters, juvenile delinquants or proxenetas…

    Are you a mindreader?
    Just bought a compilation of "l'Oeuil de la Police", terrifying stuff!
    All the Apaches in there are wearing sashes, another source mentions their yellow boots, with golden buttons(?)

  7. Hey FCC,
    Looks to me like the sailors are US Navy and/or Corpsmen. The one with "the needles" is wearing an EGA (Eagle Globe and Anchor).
    (Great article anyway !)
    Reminds me the famous N.Rockwell painting.
    Time is running but ol' style tats still kick butts !
