The busby and coat of a listed man of the 3rd Elizavetgradsky H.I.H. Grand Duchess Olga Nikolaevna’s Hussar Regiment. Named after Olga Romanov; a daughter of Tsar Nicholas II. Olga held the rank of senior officer of the regiment; an honorary position. As did her sister Tatiana and her father of their own respective regiments. This dates from the 1900-1914 I believe.
