I know this is an old old thread but searching the archives first sometimes does and does not answer a question.

If these holsters are fantasy Uhlan holsters, what holster did they use? A regular belt holster, right side, not to interfere with the saber? I've been searching for info about belts and holsters for Uhlans. I know that in 1915 a directive went out changes the color of leather gear from brown to black for everyone. That was not completely followed I know but some units used black instead of brown from the git-go. What was the color for Uhlans? I've come across photos showing occifer Uhlans with brown at the beginning of the war, was it the same for NCOs? The uniform color didn't change until late 1915 from the old time colors to field green for all.
