Looks like older Dutch Army..
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
thanks for the tip
Not really my area and that is fairly common European symbology but with that crown and the colour of the uniform my bet is that it is 19th century Danish Army.
A picture of the devices on the shoulder boards might be helpful.

See what a difference the "whole picture" makes?
As I say this is not really my area but there is no doubt in my mind now that this Imperial German/Prussian. As far as my knowledge goes that device was used by "Militaer Beamten" which means something like "Military Civil Servant" so this could be anything from Customs /police /fire brigade through railway personnel associated with the military and including adminstrative functions. I stand to be corrected but I think that is the general idea.
I hope this helps.

thanks a lot watchdog this will definitely help
I agree, Imperial German, not Prussian but one of the minor states, maybe Hessen, note the Lion rampant under Imperial crown.
