I believe it is Hussars , I've seen an illustration of a similar one somewhere.
If it's original it's a great piece , but I can't comment on that.
Trooper's pennant . NCOs' pennants were white with the Prussian Eagle. It is marked for the Leib-Husaren-Regiment Nr.1, 3rd company. However, I believe the 1st regiment was white on black, while the 2nd regiment carried the black on white. I don't recall seeing the leather loops on these before. I have a couple of pennants (none from this regiment) they all have just 4 bound holes (like big round button holes).
I suspect that the markings are bogus. Among the others it bears a "3.K" marking. German cavalry units designated the regimental sub units as Eskadron (Squadron).
I did find one similar in the collection of the imperial war museum.
I believe it is a reproduction. These are commonly faked and the markings are off both in font and in correctness.
