Paul R Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 That is a cool piece. What does the tress around the collar represent? There is none on the shoulder straps. Is this Uffz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hi Paul! The tress is the so-called "Bayern-Borte" (Bavarian-braid or bavarian galloon, I don´t know th right english term...) It indicates bavarian units. Introduced in march 1916 it, normally, was used at the Bluse 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) It's not too surprising to see the Aschingerborte on a tunic dated 1915. It was most likely added when the owner had the collar upgraded on this issue tunic. Normally, a private would not pay to "customize" his tunic unless it was to be set aside and worn on off duty (walking out dress) occasions. You do see such collars in the field, but normally worn by officers and Unteroffiziere. The price does seem to be very cheap. Normally, I would think an issue tunic with only slight mothing would sell for at least a thousand Euro more.

Hoss Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hello Chip Why the plain cuffs? I'd probably would have tried to sell my car quick if I'd seen some piping and buttons, against is the collar for us back alley ruffians we want to see pure 'grunt'.

The Prussian Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Hello! This is a so called simplified tunic. No cuffs and no pipings around the shoulder straps. I think it´s also called "Feldrock nach Landsturmschnitt". Introduced in Bavaria late october 1914 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 This type of simplified cuff was particular to Bavarian tunics. They wore this instead of the barrel cuff that the rest of the army had switched to. It is perfectly correct for an issue Bavarian tunic of this pattern in 1915. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoss Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks Gents I mean't over the piping and closure sorry I should have posted a couple of pics, Chip me Kraus isn't handy at the moment. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
