Prussian Napoleonic Dragoons, 1808-1815

    Like the rest of the Prussian Army, the Dragoon arm of the Prussian Cavalry was reduced more than 50% as a result of the provisions of the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807; the former thirteen regiments of Dragoons shrunk to only six. The Prussian Dragoons wore coats in light blue (various sources indicate any where from light shy blue to Royal blue hues). For full dress, the dragoons wore a Kollet jacket similar to that of the Curirassiers. This had the collar, cuffs, shoulder tabs, and the piping on the turnbacks all in the regimental color. For ordinary field dress, however, the :Litewka jacket was worn. This had no turnbacks, and the cuffs were only piped in the regimental color. Belts were white, and the usual Prussian grey cavalry overalls were worn,. The black shako had a plate on the front depicting a heraldic Prussian Eagle, in the button color, with cords and cap lines also in the button color )a Guard star was worn by the Normal squadron instead) and the usual black within white Prussian cockade; however, on campaign, the oilskin shako cover was customarily worn. In fill dress a white plume was worn through 1810, thereafter a white bush (the usual distinctions for Officers, NCO's and musicians)/. The Dragoon saddle cloths were rounded at both end, and were light blue with a double border in the regiment's facing color.

This unit was distinguished by crimson facings and white metal buttons.
