ccj Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 .... who may have worn this tunic in the war. Baden IR112 NCO tunic that appears close to issue yet it has to be private purchase imo.... nice quality but seems expensive
ccj Posted October 7, 2020 Author Posted October 7, 2020 Well.... I shan’t finish the joke... Anyway, IR112 was the best Regt between IR111 and 113

peter monahan Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 Thank you. I was going to be seriously disappointed and displeased if there were not at least a partial pun in this post. You can't raise expectations like that, Chris, and then just walk away. But what rhymes with 'Bavarian'?

ccj Posted October 9, 2020 Author Posted October 9, 2020 I don’t get it... can’t find anything that rhymes... anyway, it’s a very nice tunic but not sure about the price. But, enlisted and NCO tunics don’t come around often....
Bayern Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Hello Gentlemen , Certainly nice tunic . privately purchased and to a good taylor (expensive ) stand and fall collar officers type . a point puzzles me. the absence of lace on the cuffs .
ccj Posted October 10, 2020 Author Posted October 10, 2020 I think cuff rank was dropped by many after 1915, not sure when for certain.
Bayern Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 ccj , Contemporary photos shows a mixture of styles after 1915 . what i dont know is if the dropping of cuff rank lace was mandatory.
ccj Posted October 11, 2020 Author Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I’m not sure of the regulations but I think it was an order to simplify rank insignia. However, it was not completely adhered to. I’d have to research and not sure which in my books discuss this so o have tried to look. I was hoping someone would answer this for us. Edited October 11, 2020 by ccj
