Caucasian Cossack Command

Description

Caucasian Cossack-style cossacks with fur cap and long tunic with the characteristic cartridge pouches sewn on. Set consists of (left to right) bugler, Officer, and NCO.

This style of uniform was worn in the Caucasian and Astrakhan cossack regiments during the conquest of Turkestan in the 1870s and the Russo-Turkish War of 1877.

As the fur cap and coat became more popular, various other cossack units wearing this style of dress can be seen in World War I, the Revolution and Civil War and even into World War II.

NOTE: All figures are sold plain (not primed or painted) and without additional basing.
