Uhlan Tschapka, Saxon Regiment 17

[tony v]

New in for me, my first ever Tschapka. Needed some TLC which I have just spent the afternoon doing.

Peak was hanging off and the previous owner must have been a 60 a day man cause the white cloth was nicotine stained all over.

come out quite nice I think. some gentle restoration can help.... Just need a parade plume !

Oberservation's, as ever, appreciated.

kind regards

Tony

Nice one. This is the older model, as you know, with larger mortarboard, reinforced shell, and non-removable Rabatte.
