I have a soft spot for Braunschweigisches Husaren-Regt. Nr.17, and keep an eye out for images of hussars in their cloth caps - some examples below.
The first is pre-1897, with only the single state cockade on his mütze. The second is probably from around 1900, with the pre-1905 nickel plated KD89 scabbard (interestingly, with the two rings technically abolished in 1895 – but seems to have persisted for some time after).


The third and fourth are both from the same Brunswick studio of Wilhelm Kleinschmidt, and show the post-1905 blackened scabbard and more modern form of the tellermütze.
