Chris Boonzaier Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Krause has the Bavarian leib Regiment tunic with the brandenburg cuffs as a M1910 style, however the cuffs were only approved in 1911, and from what I hear, the tunics only appeared in 1913-14.... so for a very short time they replaced the swedish cuffs... but from 1915 or so we see the swedish cuffs taking over again... maybe the introduction had been to rocky ? You see the brandenburg cuffs being worn by veteran officers in the regiment later in the war, but the younger officers with swedish cuffs again?

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Hi, but even on the field uniforms, the swedish 2 buttons seemed to replace the Brandenburger.... I am assuming that because normal vereinfachte Röcke arrived at the Depot, it was easier to turn them into one with swedish cuffs than make one with Brandenburg cuffs?

Bayern Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Surely it was easier to transform the turned up cuffs in swedish ones than in brandenburgers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 Hi, indeed, but the Swedish cuffs were in fact the traditional ones for the regiment, so they had been there since the 19th century. The Brandenburgers were introduced just before the war, but somehow seem never to have really "made it" into widespread usage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
