Regarding the fact that Heir got many regiments, it is  quite possible one of uniforms you posted may have belonged to him. as well, for OTMA's ones, I am not  certain. I think Tatiana's one got also yellow traces.

Thank you, nena! I saw it from a website featuring pics from the Alexander Palace. Because those uniforms are also featured there, I instantly thought those belong to OTMAA.

Amazing colored fotos  by the most wonderful Yelena Aleksandrovna. Endless thank you very much!

I'm not certain whether these regimental uniforms belong to OTMA. if they are, will someone please mind identifying whichever belonged to whom?



I think the last thumbnail are regimental uniforms of Olga (white) and Tatyana (blue). Just correct me if i'm wrong.

These all belonged to Nicholas II. I have only abbreviated captions, but here's the info I've got (left to right):
1. Rosiori Hussars, Mounted Gendarmeri, Serbian officer
2. 6th Cuirassiers, 8th Hussars

All the OTMA detailed, real and corrected Regiment's uniform illustrations in it's appropriate thread (thanks Sarah for advice). Illustrations are made strictly according to Imperial Russian Military laws at the beginning of the 20th century.

1. 3rd Hussar's Elizavetgrad of HIM GD Olga Nicholaevna Regiment.


2. 8th Ulhan's Voznesensk of HIM GD Tatiana Nicholaevna Regiment.


3. 9th Dragoon's Kazan of HIM GD Maria Nicholaevna Regiment.


4. 145th Novocherkassk Infantry Regiment (design similar to original Anastasia Regiment, excluding the A-III sign).



*Taken from the Kuznetsov beautifully detailed tables.

Wow this is the first time I've seen an illustration of Anastasia's uniform! Thank you very much for that, Nicola! It's color would have been much like Maria's but lighter, I think so.

How did I miss this marvelous  post until now? Thank you Nicolá! The small pairs uniforms seem similar, except for  the detail colours. ( and buttons) Sadly  I haven't seen a photo of Anastasia  dressed in her regiment uniform, or know whether such a phot  even was taken since she received the  regiment during  the war.  But  in my mind's eye, now that I have seen her regiments uniform, I certainly can imagine  how "the number one chief fireman   " would had enjoyed it!  Thanks again!

We haven't seen any photo of Anastasia with her regiment; and most likely those don't exist. However, I have sen photo of Nicholas and lexei with her regiment - however, her regiment poses before Tsar who is holding icon prior to the departure to the East in 1905. (I am speaking about the photo of Tsar with Anastasia's regiment in 1905).

blessOTMA, you are always very welcome;).

I must add for the clarity that these illustrations show us only the correct uniform structure itself (with different minor, but important details). As to the real colours - these illustrations are only with approximate colors. If somebody wants to colorize photo or make painting with OTMA's regiment, it would be better to use the real uniform photos, which were posted hundred of times by Sarah and other forum members.

About Anastasia's uniform - of course it existed. I can assume (not being OTMA expert), that she was simply too young to wear uniform before the War, while during and after there were a lot of things to do, instead of trying on the uniform.

Fascinating nena . I guess during a war that was best that  could be done....and having the Tsar hold the icon is pretty good!  Is that the photo where the camera is behind the kneeling men and the Tsar is on horseback?

Thank you for  the extra information Nicolá!

Yes, that's the one. It's way back at the beginning of this thread, reply #3. Also, reply #11 shows Nicholas and the Big Pair with Anastasia's regiment.

I hope this hasn't already been asked but does anyone know what happened to Maria's uniform?

I don't know about her helmet and skirt but her Dragoon tunic has survived: it's in the Tsarskoe Selo Museum collection. I'll scan a photo later.
