Can someone identify the Bavarian officer behind King Ludwig III? Circled red in photo

Castell

Can anyone identify the 4 men in the photo? Numbered 1-4...

Hi Sandro, that’s excellent literature for the adjutant tunic. I have no doubt about the tunic, I’m just asking about the differences between it and the Leonrod. Are the tabs on Castell of the 1915 pattern? I never realized those Saxon tabs were exclusively for Saxon Generaladjutant

Thanks Glenn-

Sorry if I was unclear. Yes, the m16 tunic is correct. I was wondering about the 1910 tunic. Castell has no breast pockets but Leonrod does

Impressive

Thank you Glenn, I'm always amazed at your knowledge and resources. This topic is extremely confusing to me. If Leonrod’s tunic is of a Flugaladjutant then I assume a Flugeladjutant tunic should have breast pockets and Costell-Costell’s doesn’t. The photo of Costello above shows him wearing a tunic exactly like Leonrod. Another tunic of Costell Weitze once sold. I understand the insignia is correct for his position. to clarify, below is a M16 Bluse, no Kleiner Rock or litewka..

Are these the correct collar tabs? I thought the tabs on the 1910 type tunic were longer. Wasn’t Wilhelm Freiherr von Leonrod also an adjutant?

Is this Castell-Castell tunic

Nice collection I used to collect Victorian campaign medals. I want to make a display for them some day

Thank you

Very close examination and the collar tabs are the only tabs ever to be sewn on. It appears the same threads used sewing the collar was used for the tabs. The shoulder board appear originally applied as well and the insignia look very nice and toned in hand. I do see where some buttons have been re-sewn and the interior have one sleeve lining missing but the rest of the tunic is very nice and high quality.

Examples in wear

Yeah, I agree with that. The inside of the front is lined in red which I think is typical for generals It’s very attractive but wonder how one sleeve liner could be missing/removed https://www.emedals.com/germany-imperial-an-imperial-army-generalmajor-major-general-tunic

Here’s a Kleiner Rock on emedal for review.

Absolutely stunning field gray tunic and cap.

Nice caps

I’ve never seen litzen referenced on the Kleiner Rock
