Don't see it? TB4 was Preußen. TB13 was Württembergisches. Tunic may be good, but that helmet........ :roll:

Well, at least the helmet has a Prussian kokarde to match the tunic!

The item description is too rich to pass over without comment:

emperor-calibrate - a wonderful piece of machine translation. Kaiserreich was probably misspelled Kaisereich and spat out kaiser=emperor and eich=calibrate.

I'm not sure whether Wuertenbergi is the gentive singular or nominative plural of Wuertenbergus. :wink:
