Garde-Ulanen-Regt. Nr.2 Ulanka
 
Mannschaften (Other Ranks) Eigentumsstück (private purchase) Ulanka from Garde-Ulanen-Regt. Nr.2 (Berlin) Garde-Korps. The Ulanen were lancers and were responsible primarily for patrolling and reconnaissance.

The Ulanka is a dark blue doe-skin wool with red collar and Polish cuffs. The facing color for GUR Nr. 2 was red and is reflected by the red collar, cuffs, epaulettes, and red piping around the plastron front panel, bottom hem, and rear shoulder seams. Yellow Garde Litzen is carried on the collar and the Polish cuffs.
A view of the collar and Mannschaften (Other-Ranks) epaulettes. The Epaulettes for the three Garde Ulanen regiments were blank. No numbers or cyphers were used. The single Preußen rank button on the collar identifies the rank as a Gefreiter (Corporal).

Note the Preußen Gefreiter rank button and 5th Squadron button on the epaulette.
