Uniform Info

[Gordon Williamson]

Can anyone recommend any publications which have any information on uniforms worn by the Feldgendarmerie during WW1 ? Colour of piping worn, what type of Pickelhaube was worn etc. I have seen yellow woven collar tabs with a blue stripe down the centre described as Feldgendarmerie. Is this correct ?

The Ringkragen is about the only item I see regularly for sale which is clearly specific to Feldgendarmerie.

Gordon,

You can find information on the prewar/wartime uniforms of the Feldgendarmerie in Jürgen Kraus's book, "Die feldgraue Uniformierung des deutschen Heeres 1907-1918". The new three volume set is out and available again.
