Hello Loupie1961,
Although not my field of expertise, the GS Buttons make me think that it is made up, but I might be wrong, hopefully some of the other Forum members will state their opinions of the side cap.

Hello Loupie1961,
Just another thing that I have just noticed and that is the Rank Star, the one shown has 6 arms whilst the Polish only has 5, it might be nothing but hopefully one of the other Forum members will dive in and add their comments.

The star should be 5 pointed one, not 6

I think the star does not belong there. At very minimum

I have seen the eagle and GS buttons combo before, without the star or pennons.

I would not be so sure about it: the star is an Italian Army six pointed star and since the 15th Uhlans served in Itly is not altogether to exclude that lacking Polish five-pointed gwiazdki one could not use an Italian one. I am quite sure I have seen Italian army "stellette" used on II Korpus items before.

Italian Army star: not unlikely to be used instead of a missing Polish pattern one, since 15th Uhlans was part of the II Korpus.
