Tobias Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Hello Gentlemen! Here's my uniform for a prussian soldier (infantry) from 1870-1907/15. This sevice tunic was produced in 1867-1887 (no sidehooks). The black trouser with red braid (1870-1895) had one little pocket on the right side (post 1895 the trousers got two pockets). -facine knife from 1864 -sword knot ( lost the crown) -belt buckle from 1847 -breadbag/haversack is the old type (white canvas) from marine infantry (imperial german navy), but identically contructed -canteen is from a swiss-depot and identically with the german 1867 canteen -the socket bayonet was for the Zündnadelgewehr in the 1860´s Bye Tobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hi, nice blades! Are the boots original?? All the best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tobias Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 Here are some additional images of my jackboots (1864/66). They include a comparison of a pair of restored and unrestored jackboots (definitely original). I got the unrestored boots from an attic in northern Brandenburg. One of the previous owners stuffed some documents inside of them, dating back to 1941 (see picture below). Bye Tobias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
