The uniform of an officer of the army horse artillery RIA

The double-breasted six-button uniform follows the pattern established in December 1907 for all Army infantry officers. White cloth flaps are sewn on the front ends of the collar, which in 1874-1912 served as a distinctive feature of the third regiments of all grenadier and infantry divisions. Judging by the buttonholes on the collar and cuffs, made of galloon of a special pattern (buttonhole), the uniform was made in the short period between December 1907 and April 1908, when the galloon officer's buttonholes were replaced by buttonholes embroidered with a gimlet in the color of a metal device. The combination of double lace buttonholes on the collar with a white flap indicates that the owner of the uniform could serve in only one regiment – the 11th Grenadier Fanagoria, whose chief since 1891 was Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich. An extremely rare sample of the RIA uniform, on sale for the first time. The size is about 48-50. Guarantee of authenticity.
