A walking out dress peakless cap for other ranks, private purchase

Leib-Garde-Husaren-Regiment,
raised in 1815, based in Potsdam.

The Kaiser was personal commander in chief of this regiment. The second honorary commander of the regiment was King Wilhelm II. of Württemberg.

The cap shows some age and wear, the brown leather sweatband is still in place, the lining is white with remains of silver embossed maker details:

Militair-Mützen-Effekten
G. Tannert
Potsdam
Elisabethstraße 18

The cap has both cockades, cap is of fine red doeskin, dark blue band, all edges piped yellow.

This was one of the favourite regiments of the Kaiser, and he often wore this uniform

Following photos of a Guard Star of gilded Tombak for a Kartuschkasten for other ranks and nco ranks. This star is of the Black Eagle Order, the hightest Prussian State decoration. The Guards regiments had the privilege of wearing it on their headdress and on the Kartuschkasten where appropriate. The motif is an eagle in the centre clutching a lightning bolt and a wreath. The lettering on the circular scroll is SUUM CUIQUE - jedem das Seine - everyone to his own right. The order was founded in 1701 together with the Prussian State.
