Could you post a larger, more clear photos of the group? It’s very interesting.

Thats a wonderful photo and superb ribbon and medal bar. Was he general staff or other?

The boards posted by v.Perlet and Triadoro are model 1866 boards and were discontinued in 1888.

That's a very nice photo. I wonder if he wears an officer's feldzeichen. It doesn't look enlisted in pattern.

Amazing photo IMO... Ive not seen any and you have 2

Hello all- seems like it’s been fairly slow regarding uniforms/tunics. It would be great to see your favorite tunic…. My favorite changes from time to time.

Wonderful photo…. I happen to have an officers tunic from JzP2

v Perlet, it’s not easy at all to identify the regiment (or Battalion) one belonged to without detail. I wish Rick Lundstrom were still alive as he would eagerly explain in detail how many experts on uniforms and period photos have learned to examine good quality ordinal photos. Some can look at photos and discern piping colors and ribbon colors to help identify. There’s so much that goes into it. I don’t think one can look at any photo and identify the man’s unit and not always whether they’re jager, infantry, train, etc unless there are several it identifiers. However, back to the original posted tunic. It’s easy to determine it to be a Jaeger NCO tunic because of the tunic color and piping color. Had I been given a simple low quality photo of a soldier with no details of their cuffs and straps it would be hard to tell much. regimental histories, named photos, photos with the city/photographer information help identify many photos as I’m sure you’re aware. Rick, and I’m sure others, could write a detailed explanation of the efforts taken to learn how to examine period photos to discern possible colors. Idk

Very true, thanks for adding that fact.

Hi v Perlet, I understand what’s you men. As GreyC already mentioned it can be hard to discern uniform colors in Black & White Photos but many people do acquire a talent to identify. the photos I posted are from the regimental history of RJN4. THE PRUSSIAN posted links to both Magdeburger Jäger Bn 4 and Reserve Jäger Bn 4. attached are two straps. One from the old style uniform and the other from the 07/10 uniform. If you aren’t familiar with uniforms you have both an exciting and frustrating journey ahead of you. There are so many variations. Here are other strap with a 4 in the number credit “Under Arms for the Kaiser” by Michael Kelso his book has a huge array of straps and boards along with tunics and items from fellow forum members.

More photos from res jager bn 4

Another interesting photo

Im not sure what you mean and why you would take back anything... There are variations from time to time on the numbers and cyphers on shoulder straps. The tunic is 100% correct and the straps are original to the tunic. I have send photos to a few other advanced collectors for iopinions of this tunic inside and out. As for the photos of Vizefeldwebel Kasparow, He was a NCO in Reserve Jager Bataillon Nr. 4

Thanks, good info.

Wonderful photos of an NCO wearing a Litewka during wartime. He appears for be an Ulan or maybe a Dragoon by the straps. Note the Ek2 ribbon and The loss of a hand. In my opinion he is wearing a field gray visor.

Nice information this is, IMO, an NCO tunic for J Bn4. I’m still looking for period photos of Jäger Bn4 troops and some battle history.

Thank you Bayern, Ive been searching for hours and haven come across any period photos of JBn4 soldiers.

hello fellow collectors. 1- if anyone had period photo of Jager Bn 4 soldiers please share 2- If anyone wants to comment please do... 3- If anyone wants to share a Jager item please share.

Here’s a nice NCO Jäger tunic

Thanks guys, I’ve read the bio on Prussian Machine. i don’t know if he had a brother. I haven’t found anything more than what Was posted above.

Stumbled across this while site seeing…. I see many things that lean towards something else https://derrittmeister.com/product/prussia-tunic-uniform-ensemble-staff-for-general-lieutenant-of-the-war-ministry-feldgrau/ » Prussia – Tunic - Uniform Ensemble – Staff for General Lieutenant Of The War Ministry – Feldgrau.pdf

Hello all, I’m still searching for further informations and more photos of General Pohlmann. I’m amazed sometimes how hard it is to locate information. I haven’t seen anything additional on the net. regards,

Always amazed by the qualities many of you guys possess. wonderful.

It appears Theodor Duesterberg was a general staff officer. Is this correct?
