M-Model 32075 Turkish Standarbearer XVII c.

Buńczuk is in its essence a distinctive sign, which perhaps dates back to ancient times and certainly has Asian provenance. This mark consists of a spar which is topped with a ball or arrowhead. In the case of cavalry units, the beechs were placed on a relatively short spar and often used horizontal poles. Buńczuk also richly decorated with horsehair at its top. Buńczuki was used on a large scale in the Mongolian and Turkish armies as well as among the Tatars and - on a smaller scale - among the Cossacks. In the army of the Ottoman Empire, bouncers were always responsible for bouncers - on foot or on horseback. They were treated in the 16th and 17th centuries, but also later, as a sign and distinguishing feature of a Turkish dignitary, and during the stoppage, the bouchettes were placed in front of the chief's or sultan's tent, and during the fight, the drones moved right next to their superiors. It can be assumed that the bouquet played a similar role as the banner in Western Europe, and its capture by the enemy was always treated as a severe loss.
