AUSTRIA 1848 - SUPERIOR OFFICERS

Going on with my researches on the uniform of the Austrian Army in 1848 and thank to "La Spada di Radezky" book, I also represented the Colonel of the Regiment Nr. 45 "Erzherzog Sigismund".

To note: the superior officers wore cocked had with green leaves of maple, as all the Army. The saddle is much more decorated and the golden and black sash is on the  waist. The ranking is given by the 3 golden lines on the collar (2 for the Lieutenent Colonel, 1 for Major, see further templates)
