German tunic question

Did any of the 1910 pattern tunics have black-piped Brandenburg cuffs?

Hi,

yes, Fuss Artillery (except saxon) (by the way,I suppose you mean 'M1907' tunic, 'M1910' doesn't exist for or's tunics, most appropriate is 'M1907', 'M1910' indicates an officers tunic, unfortunately many collectors still use this wrong indication, although the whole 'M19..' is open for debate..).

regards, RS

Matt,

from a print published by Moritz Ruhl showing the Brandenburg cuff of a Fußartillerie NCO and Gunner with a Gun-Layer's badge.

Thank you, gentlemen! Did the Fußartillerie have the black piping anywhere else on the tunic or was it the standard red?

Matt,

Here is an Original M1907 Rock to the 3rd Bav Fußartillerie. Started out Life as an Infantry M1907 and when the 3rd Fußartillerie was formed this transferred over and the cuffs and Collar changed.

Eparges nice to hear the correct identifications being used.

Very nice! I notice that the shoulder straps are white-piped like infantry ones. Was that normal for A.F. units in 1914?

Matt,

from 1907 to 15/16 Fußartillerie boards were piped white. Infantry boards were piped per their Korps (.e.g. VI Korps piped Yellow).

In 15/16 Infantry adopted white piping. In 15/16 Fußartillerie Boards became all Yellow with Red numbers and crossed Flaming Long Grenades/Shells (The Flaming X shells not adopted by Bavraia).

Thanks! That clears a lot up.

Hi Matt,

Can't add much to the information other than showing another example. The collar on this 1915 dated tunic is an unpiped M15 (green badge cloth) wartime upgrade.

Beautiful tunic! I am guessing that it belonged to a sergeant or gefreiter from the collar disks.
