Austrian Imperial Era, Issue, Cavalry Ulan Enlisted Ulanka, 3rd Rgt.

Original period manufacture. Blue wool Ulanka with dark red wool collar, cuffs and piping. Silver bullet-type buttons throughout, each bearing the number 3, except for the two cuff buttons which are plain. Bone color linen lining with numerous inkstamps, being a mix of Imperial Army and costume house. No moth issues to report, all buttons are present, size about a 36. Quite likely this coat, and many like it, formed part of the large purchase of Imperial Austrian items by Hollywood back in the 1920's. If you do a search for the Western Costume Research Library, there is a very interesting story about the purchasing of these artifacts for the 1928 Erich von Stroheim directed epic "The Wedding March". When literally thousands of uniforms, hats, swords, equipment, medals, and the Royal Hapsburg Coach, were purchased and sent to Hollywood for the filming. They remained in stock at the costume houses until the early 1990's. I remember when attending the old Great Western Show in Pomona, seeing heaps of Austrian uniforms lying on the floor behind dealers tables. They were there to be rummaged through, seeking that elusive treasure, pay the bill and off you go.
