Hello all,
Recently I've found myself somewhat confused at what colour leather equipment Prussia used.
So far I've heard it's black for the Garde Korps, and white for all other Regiments - but I've seen period postcards and illustrations that suggest this, or the other way around, or a mix of both. It is quite confusing.
If anyone can help, I would be very thankful.
Cheers,
Nikita

Nikita, another internet search for "lederzeug preussische armee" could be helpful for your research...
Google photo search:https://www.google.com/search?q=lederze ... 00&bih=759
Besides the photo search, look at the many links with a "normal" internet search.
Good luck for your further research..!
