Until 1917, in dress uniform, all cavalry officers were assigned to the so-called Laguna – riding through CEOE shoulder on galanoy sling a small leather purse. Originally it was intended for pistol, and later – for revolver rounds. With the adoption of the trilinear revolver mod 1895, where the cartridges were kept in a special pocket holster, Laguna became purely a decorative object, meaning belonging to the cavalry. Housing ladunni made from black patent leather, the cover is of polished silver; the cover is attached to has part of the armature (in the guard – the star of the order of St. Andrew the Apostle, in the 13th Dragoon Military order regiment – St. George's star, in other parts of the army – the State emblem). Guard Andrew star has always been silver, in the army the color of the coat matched the colour has metal parts of the device. In the horse artillery coat of arms was augmented with crossed cannons. This sample of the coat of arms is often confused with the coat of arms for the wing caps of the sample in 1881, however, judging by the size (48 x 48 mm), the eagle was intended for ladunni; an eagle for the wing caps had a much large size (55 x 58 mm). The original fasteners, unfortunately, are lost and replaced with clasps of brass sheet (the trace of the fastener is visible, in particular, on the back of the crown). The phenomenon is typical of furniture of the late XIX – early XX century, and it is caused by corrosion of the solder due to vzaimodejstvija between its component parts under the influence of time. This, however, and are limited to defects of the thing – in the rest and stamp, and geometry, and gilding have been preserved very well. In addition, most extant eagles with lagunak not pressed, but cast; stamping, under our assumption, began to practice closer to the 1910's. these items of the officers ' ceremonial uniforms in our days are extremely rare. The guarantee of authenticity.
