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-

Hi Charles,

 

that is an M15 Bluse. The field grey Waffenrock for Flügeladjutanten did not necessarily have breast pockets; in fact as per regulations did not have them.

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

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

This is interesting to me.... I’ve never seen litzen on a Litewka or Kleiner Rock

Another seen in the same week. 

When is garde litzen okay to wear on Litewka or Kleiner Rock?
