4th Miss Cav Posted March 8, 2021 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2021 Just picked this up today. My first WWI German uniform. I know enough about these to be a danger to myself. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can find no markings inside the uniform. Epaulets I believe have the the monogram of the Kaiser. Some minor mothing but nothing terrible.

SARGE Posted March 9, 2021 Share #3 Posted March 9, 2021 If the colored stripes in the sash are black it is Prussian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted March 17, 2021 Share #9 Posted March 17, 2021 On 3/9/2021 at 11:33 PM, 4th Miss Cav said: That Monogram will be a K and R, KR, which stands for Karl Rex, Karl the King. It's possible this is an officers tunic, a Cornet. the metal of the epauletts being Gilt for officers, other ranks were "Yellow" IE Brass, but the distinctions are hard to see, the two metals in my estimation looking basically the same, The collar has Guards Litzen? if so the 19th Ulan was one of the regiments to wear them, they were in the Button Color, "White". Have to post larger size photos of the collar my friend, and the sash as well as the tops of the shoulders where the epaulets were too, there's a tab the tongue of the epauletts passes through that's supposed to be in Silver in "State Colors for Officers.
