Hello, if someone could enlighten me on the uniform Wrangel wore, I know he had a cuirassier regiment named in his honor, so is it, I don't know how it's called in English, but in French we would speak of a "colonel general" uniform?
And also, what is the order he wears in the form of a collar ?

Hello, yes, he still wears the uniform of a colonel of the 3rd KR. Koller, riding boots, spurs, cuirassier officer's pallasch and, above all, an M53 cuirassier officer's helmet, but with a Federbusch! However, the decorations, stars of the order of the black eagle, and of the house of Hohenzollern, grand collar of the black eagle, and Marshal's baton.
Bismarck also liked to be portrayed as a cuirassier officer.

Thank you all for your information. It's a really beautiful photo, in any case, and it perfectly complements the first one.
