I had one of those but traded away years ago. I wasn’t sure what era it was from. I don’t recall the stamps inside. 

Very interesting badge and one I’ve never seen.

Interesting

Is this NCO wearing a litewka or bluse?

Nice 

Nice, I must admit that after 30+ year collecting I’m not very knowledgeable on Kraftfahrer gear. I know it when I see if but don’t know how to authenticate.

it looks genuine

I just noticed a few of those Ulans were EK2 ribbons so that’s definitely wartime.

I just won this nice photo I found while researching.  Too bad I traded by 17th Husar visor years ago.

It appears to be the same garment worn by some of the Garde-Ulanen in this photograph.

You’re right, nice photo and thanks for the help.

And....

Thanks Chris

Can you post drawing 

More examples

Another example of NCO tunic though not a Leib garde 

supposedly photos dated Aug 9, 1914...

Chris, it’s almost identical to yours. I’m not sure how many colors Prussia used for the Litewka. Also, I don’t know how many NCOs and officers may have ordered private made Litewka in field gray. 
I know there’s a photos of a field gray Wurttemberg Dragoon Litewka from a feldwebel turned offizierstellvertreter in FELDZUG 1914 or 15 BY MICHAEL BALDWIN.

It dont looks as a M1915 Bluse , appears as lightweight and it dont have the rear skirts upper buttons neither the lateral hooks,, with the Bluse the Leib hussars used a special type of Shoulder Cords dark red and yellow interwoven with trefoil shape .

You’re correct on multiple points.  I think the cut of the tunic is exactly that of the litewka and the insignia used is for the litewka.  
 

Attached are a couple more examples that I found. It’s very interesting to learn about more styles of dress. I’ve not spent a lot of time on cavalry style dress and almost no time on pre-war uniforms.

The tunic is so interesting I began a study of Husar and cavalry tunics. I was unaware of this pattern. It unique and I’m not sure I’ve seen anymore ever post a photo of a servicing example 
 

Yeah, makes me think it’s more of a prewar or early war litewka 

More to the topic. The photos found make me think the tunic is either litewka or early war field gray de tunic that was used prior to or instead of a M15

Here’s a very interesting and rare tunic that shows all the attributes of a litewka but may be a wartime bluse but I’m unsure .

it’s a Leib Garde-Husaren Wachtmeister tunic

I wish you luck. It’s hard to find much information an the troop’s uniforms. There are a couple of nice photos in the book “Field Grey Uniforms of the Imperial German Army 1907-1918” by Baldwin and Fisher.

see shots from book. You may find insignia on websites

This is an officer’s tunic and Shako.  The officers wore white and silver litzen.

Very nice.

can you show details of the shoulder straps and collar? It looks wonderful 

Wonderful
