The tunic is so interesting I began a study of Husar and cavalry tunics. I was unaware of this pattern. It unique and I’m not sure I’ve seen anymore ever post a photo of a servicing example
-
Yeah, makes me think it’s more of a prewar or early war litewka
-
More to the topic. The photos found make me think the tunic is either litewka or early war field gray de tunic that was used prior to or instead of a M15
-
Here’s a very interesting and rare tunic that shows all the attributes of a litewka but may be a wartime bluse but I’m unsure . it’s a Leib Garde-Husaren Wachtmeister tunic

I wish you luck. It’s hard to find much information an the troop’s uniforms. There are a couple of nice photos in the book “Field Grey Uniforms of the Imperial German Army 1907-1918” by Baldwin and Fisher. see shots from book. You may find insignia on websites This is an officer’s tunic and Shako. The officers wore white and silver litzen.

Very nice. can you show details of the shoulder straps and collar? It looks wonderful

Drain the bants ive never seen that tunic.... show us more... of the tunic

The buttons on the breast and boards appear the same size on mine. I can measure but I’m sure several on this Forum know the button size by memory.

Nice EK and great photography -
That’s funny....
-
Sure seems odd, I can’t imagine doing it myself but I have OCD about a lot of little things, the way I put on a belt is one of them...
-
Sounds great other than the Orange & Mango squash only because I prefer cran-pomegranate juice.

I think it’s more likely that one would encounter silver stars on generals uniforms, especially early war. I would assume available stocks were silver and many generals would have used pre-war stars or stars from their personal uniforms and possessions.
-
They are silver
-
The question of gold or silver stars and when the regs changed has plagued me for decades. Some french collectors have told me it was the generals choice while others have told me the color changed to gold post ww1. ive seem tunics and helmets with gold stars that I felt likely were ww1 period.
