Is there any other info you can give us?

Ill hazard a pure guess:

The uniform looks like a mid-late 19th Century Officer, perhaps British judging from the collar and the fact its a double-button in the front.

The odd thing is hes wearing an overcoat and that seems to throw my hypothesis off.

I get this question a lot. I am from NYC. I fly a French flag because I work for the Paris Office of a International company.

He looks like an older version of Napoléon Eugène Bonaparte, he died during the Zulu wars, here's a picture of him when he's younger.
