An interesting (to me, anyway) grouping of Württemberg blue/yellow cavalry caps (partly inspired by the excellent examples of cornflower blue variations found on Tony’s site).
From left to right:
Officer of Ulanen-Regiment König Wilhelm I (2. Württembergisches) Nr.20 – the classic very deep “dark blue” of the Uhlan regiments
Enlisted Dragoon of Dragoner-Regiment König (2. Württembergisches) Nr.26 – the enlisted version “cornflower blue”
Officer of Dragoner-Regiment König (2. Württembergisches) Nr.26 – the much lighter Dragoon officer version of “cornflower blue.”
Interestingly, the EM cap has an owner label for a Dragoner in the “Ersatz-Esqadron” – as far as I know, the “Ersatz” squadron was only formed upon mobilization, as a replacement pool. If that’s right, then this was one of the last of the “Dunkelblau” caps issued before everything thereafter was Feldgrau.
