1860s Mecklenburg Dragoon?

Hello all!

I am hoping that someone may be able to confirm my suspicions on this photo. I got it in with a grouping of other photos, and suspect that he may be an 1860s Mecklenburg Dragoon. I know they wore kepis. If not a Mecklenburger, I would certainly think a Dragoon of one of the other German states.

Any and all help appreciated!

Here is a thread that has a photo of a MS dragoon from that era. Similar, but the kepi looks a little different. He appears to have an 1852 Prussian cavalry saber instead of a MS dragoon saber.

Thank you!

Apparently, only Mecklenburg and Oldenburg Dragoons wore the "Russian model" cap in that era. I didn't see any Oldenburg Dragoons with yellow/gold litzen, so I think he is a Mecklenburger.
