This CDV is showing the Hussar uniform
introduced in 1871 :
Astrakhan busby with horsehair scarlet plume, and a white braided
scarlet bag.
This view enables us to see its specific proportions, very similar
to those of the Rifle units.
Cap lines seem to be scarlet/crimson.
The tunic is described as "of
blue Hussar pattern with four loops of crimson braid".
This is a highly unusual braiding colour, but it seems to be
consistent with the rendition of colours by ancient photographic
processes.
Dark blue overalls with scarlet cloth
stripes.
