III. HORSE-JÄGER REGIMENTS

17 December 1812— The Horse-Jäger regiments renamed from Dragoons are ordered to have uniforms, weapons, and horse furnitureas follows:

Coat[mundir]— dark green, of the pattern of the current cuirassier kolet coats; with similar dark-green collars, with piping on the edges of the collar, shoulder straps, pointed cuffs, and with trim on the skirts and tails, all in each regiment’s particular color, and with white buttons (Illus. 1474).

Pants[pantalony]— dark green, with wide stripes, piping, covered buttons at the bottom, and a cord for fastening these buttons, in the same color as the piping and cuffs on the coat (Illus. 1474).

Shako[kiver] — of the same pattern and shape as that used at this time in Grenadier regiments, except with a white metallic buttonloop and black cockade with orange edges, in place of a small grenade; with a green pompon — instead of red; with similar green cords — instead of white, and with a white plume, instead of black, with a black and orange bottom (Illus. 1474).

Saber[sabli]— of the pattern in use at this time by Hussars; with an iron hilt and scabbard fittings (Illus. 1474).

Swordbelt[pourtupeya]— of the pattern introduced a short time before in the Horse Artillery; with a small hook in front instead of a buckle (Illus. 1474).

Carbines[karabiny], bandoliers [pantalery], cartidge-pouch belts [lyadunochnyya perevyazi], saddles [sedla], and saddlecloths[valtrapy] — following the patterns in use at this time in Lancer regiments; the last items being dark green, with trim and a monogram the same color as the piping and cuffs on the coat (Illus. 1474) (131).

Noncommissioned officers[unter-ofitsery] are distinguished by silver galloon on the collar and cuffs; by the swordknots, pompons, and shako-cord tassels prescribed for this rank in other regiments; by plume tops of black and orange, and by gloves. They do not have carbines or bandoliers (Illus. 1475 and 1476) (132).

Trumpeters[trubachi]— wearing the the same uniform as privates, they are distinguished from them by white chevrons on the coat and red plumes instead of white (Illus. 1477) (133).

Staff-trumpeters[shtab-trubachi]— compared with the preceding squadron trumpeters, these have the same distinctions as do noncommissioned officers compared to privates (Illus. 1478) (134).

Officers[ofitsery]— wearing the same colors and pattern of uniform as privates, they are distinguished from them, as in other regiments, by their pompons, shako cords, swordknots, sashes, and silver monograms and crowns on the saddlecloths. They have cartridge pouches that are the same as those given in 1817 to officers in Dragoon regiments (Illus. 1479 and 1480). Besides this they are authorized dark-green frock coats, with white buttons, and piping on the collar, cuffs, and pockets that is the same color as the piping on the dress coat (135).

The prescribed colors for piping, shoulder straps, cuffs, pants stripes, and trim on the saddlecloth are as follows:

In the Livonia Regiment— red (Illus. 1474).
