Nice to see a good Prussian uniform but I have a few corrections, I'm afraid.
The pocket should have a red braid at the bottom.
The grenadier cap should have white metal ornaments around the back and sides, largely red lace (actually mixed red and white with red edges) and top to bottom the pompom was red/white/red.

Thanks David.
Obviously, my Biles book is oversimplified.
