PS if it is helpful, he served a five year term around 1893-1898. The trousers are riding breeches in a light blue with red stripes down the side.
Thanks,

Hi Dan,
Yeah, it's been 20 years of searching for me. Another year or two isn't going to make any difference.
Thanks for looking!

That's not a problem. Earlier tunics, M1881, didn't have buttons at all - they had inside hooks. In 1897 tunics were slightly changed by adding buttons (in line regiments buttons were "clear", in regiments where the Emperor or Empress were honorary chiefs, buttons had crowns). In 1904 buttons with two-headed eagle replaced old "clear" and "crowned" buttons. So, we can for sure date the tunic by 7-years period.
