Regular Infanterie with Swedish Cuffs (IR126)

[Naxos]

I know that there were several Infantry Regiments that wore by regulation Swedish cuffs. 

 

... but this is not one of them. A group of soldiers belonging to 3. Kompagnie, Württemberg IR126 - dated; August 26, 1915

 

 

 

Sender, Landsturmmann Friedrich Schmid - 15. Armeekorps, 3. Division, IR126, 3. Komp, I. Bataillon

I also have a M10 NCO tunic with red piped Swedish cuffs to a Infanterie Regiment that according to regulation had Brandenburg cuffs.

 

What is the explanation for red piped Swedish cuffs in Infantry Regiments that wore Brandenburg cuffs?

Hello!

Yet! In the southern states like Bavaria and Württemberg it was usual to swap the brandenburg  with the swedish ones.

Here I have an example of Inf.Rgt.125 with all their fieldgrey uniforms

By statute, the Württemberg infantry went to all Swedish cuffs in order to simplify production. I have it in my notes somewhere.

My 1915 dated Waffenrock to the I.R.127 has Swedish cuffs.
