An 1888 Cavalry Carbine framed by a pair of 1889 cavalry sabers. I believe these were standard issue to all the cavalry regiments. An 1879 ReichsRevolver, the sidearm of the Cavalry NCOs and trumpeters. An Officers Lions head saber with the crossed swords and lances of the Uhlans.
Examples of all these weapons can be found in one or both of the Reservist pictures included.
The Kar 88 is marked on the barrel band to the 3rd Hussar Regiment. The period postcard under it shows Hussars of this Regiment firing carbines of this model
13th Uhlan Regiment 1899
15th Hussar Regiment 1894
