13th Uhlan Regiment 1889-1899

The 13th Uhlan Regiment was awarded the Cypher in 1889. At the time their epaulettes were gold trimmed. In 1899 they changed to silver. The older model epaulettes were larger than later ones.

Very nice. I have two pair, both are silver. However the cypher and crown are still trimmed in gold. On one pair there is a button on each small end with a "5' which I guess signifies the squadron number. As we have discussed before, I have some stuff from the 13U too.
