Description
This is a lemon-yellow, parade plastron that was correct for Ulanen-Regiment Graf Haesler (2. Brandenburgisches) Nr 11. The Regiment was founded in 1860 and garrisoned at Saarburg. It was assigned to the XXI. Armeekorps. It also was correct for Schleswig-Holsteinsches Ulanen-Regiment Nr 15. This Regiment was founded six years later in 1866. It also was garrisoned at Saarburg and assigned to the XXI. Armeekorps. A plastron was an additional attachment that was fitted over an ulanka ‘s chest for dress or parade functions. A total of fourteen buttons and five clips were on its reverse where it was added to the tunic. This is an extremely difficult-to-find uniform accessory. It really completes an ulanka. This example is in excellent condition.
