For the Prussians NCOs had black and white quartered pompoms, no shoulder strap, cuffs edged with golden lace braids. yellowish leather gloves and a black and white sabre tassel Now I am not sure if this applied to Gefreiters but pretty sure it was used by Feldwebels and Unteroffiziers Corporals in the army of Mother Russia had gold lace on their collar Not sure about the Austrian whitecoats |
