dwmosher Posted June 4, 2007 Posted June 4, 2007 Based on the recent posts by Chris concerning Bavarian jaeger items, I thought there might be some interest in this. This is a beautiful M-1910 Bavarian jaeger officer's waffenrock and schirmmutze from a friend's collection. The rank is for a full colonel, so perhaps it would be identifiable. RegardsDave
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Very, very, very nice indded.... way cooler than an SS wrapper !!!!
dond Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 Very, very, very nice indded.... way cooler than an SS wrapper !!!!Now that would make for an interesting discussion in some places, probably on the scale of the "Rounder Debate."Very nice tunic btw.
Marcin L Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I love Imperial uniforms Is there any way to see the whole collection?
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 5, 2007 Posted June 5, 2007 I love Imperial uniforms Is there any way to see the whole collection?Bavarian J?ger man! If you have that the rest of the collection is just window decorations...J?gers rule !!!
dwmosher Posted June 6, 2007 Author Posted June 6, 2007 I don't know, Chris...that would be a lot of window decorations! Here are a few of pics of his non-navy collection.
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 6, 2007 Posted June 6, 2007 Like I said... just window dressing ;-)(I have a very subjective thing for Bavarian J?ger :-)
Chip Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 Iv'e got to go see that collection some day. It's only about a ten hour drive away. How can I get myself invited? Chip
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 A question to the rank on the tunic...I was trying to figure out who it could have been...The usual bavarian J?ger unit is a batln. The 1st, 2nd and 2nd Reserve never had a full colonel. The 2nd had a Lt col for the first 2 months of the war... after that all three had mainly Majors, often Captains and sometimes Oblts commanding them.The parent 1st J?ger Regt had a Lt Col for a time, but usually commanded by Majors.That leaves the 1st reserve but I dont see a Colonel commanding that.The only other possibility I see would be maybe J?ger regt 3, which had Bavarian elements. Maybe Chip can help there?
Chip Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Chris,Even the regimental commander, Ralf von Rango, was not an Oberst until very late in the war, so I think you can count the 3.J?ger Rgt. out. Chip

ChipAny idea who else could have been a full colonel?(Ralf von Rango..... sounds like the bad guy ina german made Western ..... ;-)
Chris Boonzaier Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 A thought... the commander of the 1st J?ger Brigade ?
Chris Boonzaier Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 As I have finally pulled a 2nd Jäger batln jacket into the collection (but a prewar one, not field grey) I was wondering if anyone had any extra ideas on this... i.e. who could have worn it? Any evidence of WW1 Jäger Colonels? Thanks Chris
Glenn J Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Chris, how about Oberst Karl Paulus? Oberst Paulus was commanding K.B. Jäger-Regiment Nr. 1 at the time of his promotion to full Colonel on 18.8.1918. Regards Glenn
