ccj Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 Very Nice Chris. If I see parts you need for this tunic I'll let you know. A person can never have too many German field tunics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Jeff, that is fantastic !!!! Do you have any idea what uniforms the Bavarian MG units used? Would it have been the same? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Noll Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Chris, I am assuming your question refers to the Bavarian M10/M07 MGA tunics? According to "Fuehrer durch Heer und Flotte 1914" by Friedag, the Bavarian MGA troops wore the same uniform as their Jaegers with the exception of Red piped shoulder boards. I lifted the attached photos from a German ebay auction some time ago (wish I would have made a serious move on this set) for a Bavarian M10 MGA overcoat and M10 tunic. This set seem to bare this reference out except for the shoulder board color. The Bavarians designated MGA1 with a "I" (roman numeral vice "1") on the shoulder strap/board. It also seems the Bavarian MGA troops wore a Jaeger style all black shako unlike the reproduction Bavarian MGA shakos which are Prussian style with a Bavarian plate. I am, by far, no expert on these. BTW the Bavarian M1901 MGA uniform was light blue (Hell blau) with light green (Hell gruen) collar and piping which was identical to their Jaegers (ref: "L' Armee Allemande en 1914" by Laine). The Prussian MGA's wore the Gruen-grau tunic with poppy red piping and collar. The exception would be GMGA2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hi Jeff, that would have been a fine set for the collection... always brings a tear to my eye to see something like that and know its not mine :-( Thanks for the explanation.

Chip Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Charles, That Drag.Rgt.22 tunic belonged to me until the late 1970s. I bought it in about 1974 for $100! I was just starting imperial collecting (other than shoulder straps) then and I thought it was a pioneer officer. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Chip, it was my first Imperial Field grey tunic. I was so excited to finally find a real WW1 tunic. Until then I had always collected WW2. I guess when you adjust for inflation I didn't over pay by much back in the 90's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I really need to get a nice officers belt like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Noll Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Chis, It is a tailor's private purchase tunic. Not converted. It has been on this "headed prick" for so long I do not remember if it has a name on the tailor's tag in it. I will have to remove it sometime and check. Find some period sun glasses!!!! Very tough. I thought I would get beat-up over the goatee?? BTW the officer's belt is a peach. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wondered what the loops for the 3rd award were... it seems the Hawickhorsts came from Oldenburg... who in turn were rather free awarding the Oldenburg cross to natives.... so I am going to go out on a limb and guess that is what the loops were for...
