there is no doubt concerning these Schossleisten ( center placed on the waistline ) at the " Mannschaftsmantel "-
M 1894 ( " Militair- Commismantel " ) and M 1915 ( " Einheitsmantel " ) do not have them.
in the second edition of Kraus : Feldgraue Uniformierung des deutschen Heeres ...
a happy 2012 to everybody
passed through different periods before I met these imperial prussian reenactors ( or they found me ;- ))
My special interest is the making of the uniforms. We are lucky in the well documented era of Pickelhaube
but there are soooo many questions to ask ....
