old moustache

old moustache
ветеран, бывалый солдат [этим. фр. vieille moustache]

Do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am Is not a match for you all? (H. Longfellow, ‘Complete Poetical Works’, ‘The Children's Hour’) — Синеглазые вы мышата! Вы в голову вбили себе, Что я, старик бородатый, Не справлюсь с вами в борьбе. (перевод Б. Томашевского)
