This can
be ascertained as belonging to the 14th Hussars thanks to the
regimental specificities of his uniform : he is wearing the typical
officers' busby with white plume ; it is specifically characterized by the absence of
a boss, a long tradition in the Regiment, that will eventually be
officially sanctionned in the 1900 in the Dress Regulations for
Officers of the Army.
We can
also see the regimental officers' dress sabretache pattern ; the
Prussian Eagle (the Regimental badge since 1799) is worn below the
royal cypher and crown.
It is
interesting to note that he is wearing plaited cap lines, a
feature more usually associated with the 11th Hussars.
