ccj Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 The boards are Aviation. The tunic is either pioneer or technical branch weitze listed it but it's been shown before on a forum or two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Ah. Ok. So we have a aviation Tunis from an officer who served with the engeneer before. A lot of them wore there old tunics Since 1915 all enegneer officers had Garde-Litzen. So he could serve with a engeneer of the line bataillon too.

Bayern Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Hello : Its a curious tunic . coarse wool cloth , the litzen ,are not of quality , altough are officers type . In 1915 the litzen for Engineers as for the doctors were weared with the bluse , with the Kunftige Friedensuniform they weared larger litze braided .the pre war Flugbataillons weared the technical troops uniform .with white buttons and collar litzen, the officers shoulderboards have grey backing and a interior piping white , red , yellow or light blue according with the numeration .

Chip Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I'm not crazy about those large winged props and it looks like there were pips on these boards at one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Are the boards the only thing that worries? I'm not convinced the tunic was Aviation during WW1 but didn't see issue with the boards. I guess it does look like there were rank pips or something below the prop. images found on line... sorry but don't know whose they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
