My comments would be that these appear to be postwar and private purchase. I collect wartime navy items and I have never seen issue wool drop-front trousers in imperial times. One would assume that it is possible that they existed, as the naval ground forces wore field gray wool uniforms. And it is possible that they would have continued the tradition of the drop-front on their trousers as they did on the wartime gray cotton work trousers. But I have not seen them to date.

This particular pair does not have the qualities of an issue trousers.

Hello Sir
Yours don,t match Imperial German Navy but I,ve only ever seen two pair. These dark blue wool pants had a four button flap and lining pretty much identical to regular Infantry.
There is one pair pictured in J Somers book 1st Matrosen dated 1914. The commonly seen pattern of drill pants have a four button flap also.

Eric,

You give me too much credit. I'm just an old collector that has seen a lot, but not the last word on any subject. Your opinions have every bit as much validity as mine. Keep 'em comin!
