Richard -

Can't help with the WW2 stuff, but I'm attaching a few things on Russ cav. Are you interested in Cossack cavalry or "regular" cavalry and I'm assuming mounted only, not dismounted and fighting in the trenches? The last photo is a Russian re-enactor.

If you have particular questions about units and their early war uniform colors and equipment, I'm not the guy to ask but there are a couple on this forum who could help.

All the best,
Dan

Hi

Thank you both. My questions are about the equipment.

What colour were the saddles bridles and other leather gear?

What colour is the saddle blanket bed roll etc

On the uniform itself is the jacket a yellow colour?

What colour is the fir hat and what decoration is on the top

Finally what is the cockade on the hat?

Thanks Richard
