Description from the seller
Leonhard Schwarz
Nuremberg Fürth (Fürth is part of the municipality of Nuremberg)
1902–1905
Special feature: the Bismarck helmet
• The unit: The Chevaulegers (French for “light horse”) were a renowned light cavalry unit in the Bavarian Army.
• Garrison city of Nuremberg: The regiment had been permanently stationed in Nuremberg since 1856. In 1902, the riders and their horses were housed in the purpose-built Cavalry Barracks in the Bärenschanze district.
• The connection with the Russian Tsar: From 1894 until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the unit bore the name of its ceremonial patron (the Regimentsinhaber): Russian Tsar Nicholas II. This gave it a unique historical and ceremonial status in the city.
• Weapons and equipment: In 1902, the riders still wore their characteristic dark green uniforms with a distinctive helmet (the Raupenhelm, or later the Pickelhaube). Their primary weapons in combat at the time were still the cavalry saber (sword) and a carbine (short rifle) for fighting at a distance.
