Chris Boonzaier Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Does anyone know why there was a change in Cuffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I can partially explain it. Before the war, the regiment had two uniforms, a Friedensgarniture and a Kreigsgarniture. The wartime version was without the cuff and collar Litzen. Of course, once the war started all bets were off and they used everything they had available. The tunic here with the plain Brandenburg cuffs is a simplified M07, with shortened Litzen and simplified straps. You would normally see this tunic with Bavarian simplified style cuffs, but it still has the plain Brandenburg type. I have no explanation for the Swedish cuffs other than to say that there was a lot of moving around with Ersatz battalion troops often going to fill up units other than the one the battalion normally supplied troops for. I have a number of Sterbebilder where the photo shows a Leiber uniform, but the soldier died serving in another unit. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Chris, What patterns do you need? I have two patterns of enlisted (simplified M07 and M16) and one or two officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
