Well-known member
Just arrived today .Back in the 1970's I owed this exact Waffenrock
and sold it to a fellow collector .Now years later I am able to get it back
I consider the condition of it to be mint or close to it
The soldier still had the 1912 Kaiser Prize on his sleeve which was won by the 4 Kp
He also had a shooting cord
I am pleased to get this one back .

That's a real beauty Steve, congratulations! (y):)

And congratulations on buying it back for your collection. It's great for you to have it "back home" once again. I've been fortunate to do that with a few helmets I regretted selling in the past, and being able to get 3 of them back in my collection.

Best Wishes,

Alan
 
Very nice tunic Steve. Looks like it is in excellent condition. Very lucky to be able to return it to your collection.
All the best

Fantastic and terrific waffenrock Steve. Congrats.
 
Steve, wonderful tunic! Congratulations!
I think the Kaiserabzeichen is from Juncker (under the crown must be a small "CEJ").
:) Best regrads,
Jens

p.s.: there is also a story about this imperial badge for 1912. At first, the Erste Garde Regiment had acquired this award in 1912. But afterwards it turned out that the 6th Company of the Erste Garde Regiment had cheated in the competition (they had more hidden ammunition). When this was discovered, the prize was awarded to the second-placed Garde Grenadier Regiment No. 3. 😁

Hi Steve,

Very nice tunic, that's incredible you were able to bring it back home. (y)

Did the same collector have it all these years?

Yes , it came back from the same collector that I sold it to
If he had not kept it , who knows where it might have ended up
I was lucky , as I had offered it to the "Dressed to Kill " collector
Christopher Ross in NYC
He passed on it

You were correct
think the Kaiserabzeichen is from Juncker (under the crown must be a small "CEJ").
It is stamped under the Reich's crown CEJ
