ulanka ,3rd Uhlan Regiment No. 21 "Emperor Wilhelm II, King of Prussia"

[Providentiae Memor]

This week I received something very special: a ulanka from the 3rd Uhlan Regiment No. 21, "Kaiser Wilhelm II, King of Prussia," former garrison in Chemnitz.
I think you're more likely to get Wilhelm's chamber pot than one of those ulanka.
I'm really happy with it. Beautiful cornflower blue. It has a few moth marks and two repairs, but I don't care. It's at least 107 years old.
So if anyone has the right epaulettes or peaked cap for it, please let me know. I'll probably only be able to dream of a tschapka.

This week, I received a pair of epaulettes from the Chemnitz Uhlans. Unfortunately, they're only the enlisted version and don't fit the officer's ulanka. But they'll work as placeholders until I get the right ones for officers.

A very nice looking pair of epaulettes! They sure look fine on the ulanka, until you find an officer pair later on.

Regards, Coert.

Congratulations! UR 21 is one of my favourite Ulanen!

Best wishes,

The Imperial crown Decoration on these looks very nice.
They serve as fine placeholders until you're able to find another pair for an Officer.

Today I was able to add a second ulanka.
There are two options that can be adopted, as there are no epaulettes included.

Royal Saxon 1st Uhlan Regiment No. 17, Oschatz
Royal Saxon 2nd Uhlan Regiment No. 18, Leipzig

Note also the different shade of cornflower blue

Really beautiful uniforms, congratulations

The ulanka's affiliation has now been clarified. It comes from the 1st Royal Saxon Uhlan Regiment No. 17 "Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, King of Hungary."

Today I received the epaulettes for the Oschatz Uhlans.

Sorry, no epaulettes to show but I do have Feldgrau shoulder straps for UR 17.

Hi everyone.
Maybe I should play the lottery. Yesterday I got all six numbers right plus the bonus number.
The condition on the back isn't great anymore, but that doesn't bother me. I might have it restored.
