Brunswick cap skull! Look at the bones! The most flat cap skulls had bones, that were together.

Here is a flat skull variant with bones, that are not together!!!

Who can tell me more about the uniform

Zuerst, Wie heißen Sie? Sie sagen nie Ihren Namen?

Okay, back to English. Up to 1886, Braunschweig wore a uniform called a Polrock. It was black, with kornblumenblau collar, cuffs, and shoulder straps in black cord. The Polrock you show, is correct for prior to 1886. The Tschako that Robin posted, is the Braunschweig Model 1860 pattern made from felt. The Tschako you show with the Polrock, is the Model 1860 Preußen pattern made from leather, worn by IR92 from 18 Feb 1872 until the Pickelhaube was adopted. When Braunschweig joined the North German Confederation 18 March 1886, they adopted the Preußen pattern Waffenrock for the X Armee Korps, with blue piping around the red Brandenberg cuffs, with white shoulder straps with red cypher, and the Preußen pattern Pickelhaube with the Braunschweig eagle Wappen.

For interest, here are three strap patterns worn by Braunschweigisches Infanterie-Regt. Nr.92 (Braunschweig) X Armee-Korps. The dark blue pattern with black cypher worn on the Braunschweig Polrock until 1886 with cord cypher, the white strap with red chain-stitched and felt cypher cypher worn after Braunschweig adopted the Preußen pattern Waffenrock in 1886, and the M1915 strap worn on the M1915 Bluse.

Bones that are not not together? Opinions or better photos

The only photo I have is kind of blurry, but you can clearly see that there is a gap between the femur bones.

Polrock!

Polrock! I heard the name before! I was not sure, the right name for that kind of uniform? Thanks again for the informations and the photos

PS: Ich habe mehrere Vornamen. Sie können mich Steven nennen.

Another question, Tony! I read the article on you web site, but I'm not sure... What do you think about this cockade on the photo? Officer or other ranks? It is not the ordinary flat cockade for other ranks, but I think no officer cockade. A private purchased cockade for other ranks? When it was used? Pre- 1914 or later?
