Recommended Posts

An officers peaked cap, ca. 1905-1910 from 2. Hannoversches Dragoner-Regiment No.16, based in Lüneburg, belonging to the X. Army Corps (Hannover)

 

The regiment wore darkblue (cornflower blue) as regimental colour, but the officers always wore a pale blue, which can vary. The cap band is lemon yellow, upper edge piped in white.

Plain brown liner and waxcloth sweatband. The cap shows some age, slilght fading and slight moth damage in places.

A nice postcard (digital copy) I discovered. This one again by Döbrich-Stegltz - depicting "Pferderevision" - inspecting the horses, Officer and ncos of the regiment, and a Veterinär to the right - the regiment was based in Lüneburg, the background must have been a good impression of the barracks and riding place at the time. Officer and Veterinär are wearing the light grey officers Litewka, a short double-breasted tunic with a high turndown collar and coloured collar patches with a button.
