Officer, 1846

In 1844 the blue hussar style jacket was introduced for the first time. It was based on the undress jacket of the regular hussar regiments, having only five rows of gold gimp across the chest, yellow cord for privates. The trousers had double gold stripes for officers and a single yellow welt for other ranks. The undress overalls still had the red stripes. In 1846 the barrel sash was introduced, gold and crimson for officers and yellow and red for privates. Also in this year the black pouch-belt was introduced for all ranks, plain for privates and having two gold wavy lines along the length, with silver chains and pickers on the front. The 1840 shako was still worn until 1847. The sabretache was plain black leather and slung from a black belt. It is not known if the other ranks had sabretaches as they did in the regular regiments.
