Original Item: Only One available. This Non-Commissioned Officer Eigentumsstück (private purchase) Ulanka from Schleswig-Holsteinisches Ulanen-Regt. The Ulanka is a dark blue doe-skin wool with Polish cuffs and lined in black silk. The facing color for Ulanen-Regt. Nr.15 was dark yellow and is reflected by the yellow collar, cuffs, epaulettes, and yellow piping around the plastron front panel, bottom hem, and rear shoulder seams. Buttons were silver to match the fittings on the Tschapka. The condition of this Ulanka is very good. The back of the Ulanka shows a unique piping arrangement. Note that the shoulder seams, rear sleeve seams, and lower edge of the Ulanka are piped in yellow.
The “UHLANS” were German Lancers but like the splendid eye catching uniforms it wasn’t long before horses were also obsoleted and like most cavalry of the day these specialized troops most often crossed over to mechanized transport.
