Chris Boonzaier Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Is it possible, that it is a tunic from an enlisted men from the 1. Garde - Dragoner - Regiment Königin Viktoria von Großbritannien und Irland ? Best wishes Andreas Hi Andreas, I am in no way an expert... but that is IMHO that seems a logical identification. I think the shoulder boards will be difficult to find, but that is a tunic I would kill for myself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi Chris, my problem is that I don´t known how they have to look like. If it is 1. GDR I don´t think that the sholder boards have been worn with the lettering from Königin Viktoria ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If it is an issued piece, it should have some markings inside. What does the interior look like? I agree with the identification. There really isn't anything else it can be with that collar. The regimental cypher would look like the one on this prewar type strap. What you would be looking for is this crown and cypher in red on a field gray shoulder strap with red piping and tongue on the bottom (depending on when the tunic was manufactured). These would be quite rare (especially a pair) and would cost approximately $500-$600, if you could find them. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you want to know how long it takes to find "A PAIR" of enlisted straps that are rare then I am the man who has experience. Don't get in a hurry, just sayin... Actually, Its exciting to look weekly or monthly at dealer sites who typically sell straps. I really helps it you keep reminding people who are strap collectors of your desire to acquire a pair. It took me nearly 10 years to find mine to replace the straps removed from my Leibgrenadier 100 tunic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don´t think that the straps need a tongue by reason that the straps were sewn into shoulder fissure. I can see the rest from the strap, fieldgrey with red pipe. Is this collar a M10 ?

dedehansen Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nice tunic by the way Thanks, and I know that the straps will be hard to find. In 32 years of collecting I got only this one and a Freikorps uniform Greeting Andreas Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Andreas, If your tunic has no markings, then it is a private purchase piece and it makes sense that the shoulder boards were sewn into the shoulder seam, as this is normal for custom made tunics. An issued one would not have the straps attached this way. The collar is as it should be for a M08 dragoon Waffenrock. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 To me is a enlisted men tunic , 1 Garde Dragoner Regiment . of the 1910 pattern . If you not find the cyphered shoulders boards . is correct to attach to the tunic a blank SB ,field grey with red piping . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
