Hi All,
I'm looking for a little assistance in identifying this uniform.
It belonged to my Great-Grandfather Wilhelm Pahl from Bessarabia. Family history is that he was a sergeant-major in a Cossack regiment and served five years in the Stavropol region.

If it is helpful, the trousers are a lighter blue breeches with a red stripe down the side and he would have served from 1893-1898.
Does anyone have any opinions to offer? This is the fourth forum I have tried with no success thus far!
Thanks,
John
