Waffenrock to identify

[Pionier]

Greetings Gents,

First of all I wish you all a Merry Christmas

I would like to hear your opinion about this Waffenrock. Does anyone know that type of uniform is that?
Unfortunately I do not have photos in better resolution.

Thank you for your help.
Cheers,
Milosz

I believe it is a Wurttemberg Model 1871 infantry waffenrock for an Unteroffizier. No shoulder straps to identify the regiment, but Grenadier Regiments 119 and 123 would be excluded, since they utilized Swedish cuffs and had litzen on both the collar and cuffs. Don't know what the other sleeve insignia is...

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your comment.
My first guess was exactly the same that it could be a Württemberg Model 1871 infantry waffenrock.
There is not too much information about the Württemberg uniforms especially the 1871.
I know on Tony's website there is very similar uniform:

I think the patches on the sleeve were probably attached later?
Is it possible to confirm in 100% that is the Württemberg waffenrock model 1871?

It looks like the Waffenrock will stay not recognized

Hi Dave,

Volume2 of The German Infantry from 1871 to 1914 Uniforms and Equipment by Ulrich Herr and Jens Nguyen will tell you a lot about them.

Is it possible to confirm in 100% that is the Württemberg waffenrock model 1871?

I would agree on the Württemberg 1871 tunic but we all know it's difficult in this field to be 100%.

Hi Chris,

Unfortunately I do not have that position in my bibliography. That means I have to get it asap
I realise that sometimes it very difficult to say and be sure in 100%.

I will add some more photos of that waffenrock in next few days.

Thanks.

More photos of the Waffernrock, unfortunately my father is not the best photographer so for more professional photos we have to wait a bit
