    Because the tunic is a litewka, from the looks of it, possibly of the specific Bavarian style (would have to get out the books to confirm).

    I checked my references, but could not immediately identify your man. However, since he is both a PLM winner and a Militär Max Josef orden knight, I'm sure someone will be able to identify him.

            Thanks, very nice photo and information.

            The reason I ask about the tunic is that the 1916 bavarian boarder runs along the collar but not the 1916 Prussian style tabs Bavarian addopted. Its sort of a hybred.

              I think it a Kleiner Rock and generals should have worn the silver prussian style laurish by this time.
              Previous to 1916 I'm not sure if Bavarians wore a double breasted tunic. The non regulation were by officer's and generals is annoying to me.
