What the hell is a "gorillo" and a "isombolina"? That words are not spanish.
My grandfather was a "guardia de asalto" (not assalto). The uniform was
blue. If you are interested, I can scan a photo.

-- Can anyone advise how the PP figures are
> dressed and what variety there may be in the figures?

Assalto pack has three poses. Firing kneeling and standing, loading
standing. All wear Mono, trousers with no gaiters etc..and the flat
Police cap. Sleeves are rolled up. Another suitable figure has a
Bergman SMG, same police hat and boots and tunic but buggered if I
know which pack he is in sorry- he's the one thats on the PP website.
You could add a few alternative heads for variety, Gorillo hats,
baregeads or Spanish helmets would all do for the riot police.

Usually seem to have worn their silly hat but a green
gorillo/isombolina is an alternative.
Was the uniform blue

> as in some sources?

No, Olive green. Assaltos wore Blue (But usually seem to have worn a
plae greay mono- see above.
