I agree with Joerg, regarding shabraque shape. Dragoons had rounded ends to their shabraques. Another clue is that the tunic cuff is square, therefore not lancer.

Later today I surfed up this web site www.kaisersbunker.com and it should have every thing you need. Knotel plates and actual uniforms and photos and more. Take your time and enjoy the info.

Cheers Eh!

As far as I know no Prussian Garde de Corps or Cuirassier - they had rectangular shabraques.

I guess a Baden Life Dragoon (Prussian Dragoon as well).
