What is the source of the information that allows to identify Transylvanian as an Saxon? Traditionally they served as infantry, wearing black with red hats and scarfs. This one here looks more like native cavalryman. |

From the caption which I read as 'Sibenburger' from the German for '7 towns' – a name for 'Saxons' in Transylvania. I would be interested in seeing a contemporary picture of the infantry wearing black with red hats and scarves. Druzhina Illustrations of Hungarian Costume & Soldiers |

But I think Siebenburger comes to mean Transylvanian, full stop – not just Saxon. |
