I picked this up recently. A military pass for a Wachtmeister Reiher of the 17th HR. It offers a nice glimpse into this man's career. List of his promotions and dates. His troop number is number 1 for ??? (if anyone can read that next word I would be grateful). He was qualified with...

They are carrying the Saxon KD93 Cavalry Saber, shown below

First up a Lionhead saber for an officer/senior NCO of one of the LeibHusaren Regiments. Distinguished by the applied silver Guard Star and Totenkopf.

Jeff, I'm sure you'll enjoy this one! Happy Easter all. Christ is Risen!

How does this wappen look to folks? I have not seen any photos of one with a Reserve/Landwehr cross that big. They are usually smaller on the officer's helmets.

I think he may be a VizeWachtmeister but not 100% sure. He is holding a schirmmutze in his right hand. You can make out the Totenkopf on it.

This is an issued example of the Saxon Model 92 Cavalry saber. Similar to the Prussian KD89 but with a curved blade. This one was originally marked to the 18th Uhlan Regiment. A later unit stamp reads E J (or I) IV 20. I'm guessing a Corps level unit. This one is pretty beat up but these...

I love these model swords with the state coat-of-arms on the guard. I've managed to get one from each. From left to right, Hesse, Bavaria, Prussia, Wurtemburg, Saxony and Mecklenburg.

The 13th Uhlan Regiment was awarded the Cypher in 1889. At the time their epaulettes were gold trimmed. In 1899 they changed to silver. The older model epaulettes were larger than later ones.

I have a sword similar to the one he is carrying, sold by a vendor in Augsburg. It likely belonged to a member of that Regiment.

He appears to be a Lt, The back of the photo has the name Keibel. Any biographical information anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated

Sadly no helmet but some pretty cool items of equipment and photos from the 17th Dragoon Regt. Shoulder boards for a Rittmeister of the 17th DR and a reservist pipe for a member of the Regt. A Mecklenburg Dragoon officer's cartridge case and private purchase Mecklenburg Dragoon saber.

I've been collecting various pieces of equipment that could be found on the horse of a Prussian cavalry officer. My favorite pieces are a parade shabraque for an officer of the 12th Hussar Regt, and the throat strap for an officer of the 16th Hussar Regt. Guard star that would appear on the...

This is an old one. Pre-1900

Officers and senior NCO's of the 2nd Dragoon Rgt and the 1st Uhlan Rgt were authorized to carry a special eaglehead saber. The difference between the two is that the 1 UR version had langets on the handle. This is one for the 2 DR. No makers mark and not terribly fancy, it likely belonged to...

My early Christmas present. It could have been worn by Chevaleger Regts 1,3,5 and 7 or Schwere Reiter Rgt 2. Odd that it has 4 stars instead of 3. One of them looks like it was replaced.
