Bavarian adjudant around 1865

[Kaisersammler]

Hello everyone
I would like to introduce you to my new uniform.
A personal aide to the Royal Princes.
With the golden cord also an adjudant general. Unfortunately I don't have any matching shoulder boards. This uniform was worn around 1865. According to my research. Unfortunately I don't have any literature at this time. Maybe someone can help me.

That’s a beautiful uniform. I’m no expert on the 1860s era but the collar and cuffs look correct for adjutants. I was thinking the Aiguillettes should be silver but, again, I’m no expert for the era.

Hello Reiner,

An extremely nice set of uniforms! Could you tell me how do you determine the year of this uniform? Just see from the tunic's style and cut it appears 1900 to me.

Best regards,
Jvpi

I received the description from the seller. This uniform is shown in Jan Kube's book from the 70s

Thanks. What was the description by Kube? I still believe it's a Generaladjutant's uniform from the 1900s. A typical 1860s Bavarian uniform looks like in the picture below. Which was not yet assimilated by the Prussian model.

The description reads:
Captain and Wing Adjudant of the Royal Adjudancy. 1873-1886.
Sorry for the wrong year.
I received the uniform in uncleaned condition. The embroidery was almost black. Only when I looked closely did a golden color shine through. When cleaned by a professional, the golden embroidery may appear.

What an outstanding uniform and display, Reiner - just gorgeous! How was the embroidery cleaned? They did a great job.

Here is a photo with a description of the epaulettes.
How the embroidery is restored remains a secret of the restorer. In any case, he does a good job.
