Summary/Abstract: The uniform of the Hungarian Crown Field Mace Infantry Banner in the years 1752–1768 has not been the subject of research so far. The author of this text presents the evolution of the uniform, equipment and partly armaments of the unit on a rich source basis from the resources of the National Archives in Krakow. The banner had a red-sapphire uniform with traditional Hungarian accents (e.g. long trousers, a zupanik instead of a vest, a Hungarian yarn belt, a saber tie, etc.), also observed in the Austrian army in Hungarian regiments.
