    RIR 110 NCO's Vereinfachte tunic

    I thought I'd share these photos of my latest acquisition. It's a simplified (or Vereinfachte) tunic of the type which appeared in 1915, worn by a Company Sergeant-Major in Reserve Infantry Regiment 110.

    This is an issue tunic rather than a tailored piece, being constructed in typical other ranks fashion with eight front buttons (the hollow-backed variety, two are re-sewn but all are matching and have makers initials -CD- on the rear) and featuring slanted hip pockets and rear load-bearing skirt buttons. Side belt supports have never been fitted. The interior has the usual field-dressing pocket and also the side-slanted breast pocket.

    The barrel cuffs and plain skirted back mark this tunic out as being of the Vereinfachte type.

    Rear view showing the plain skirted back and load-bearing buttons. Whilst the front closure and pocket buttons are of the type found on M1910 tunics, the belt supports are typical of those found on the M1915 Bluse. They appear to be totally original to this tunic (apart from extra sewing to reinforce the left-hand one, they are totally untampered with) and seem to underline the transitional nature of these Vereinfachte tunics:

      This close-up shows the rank tresse and collar buttons, as well as the shoulder straps for RIR 110. As was common among senoir NCO's, the collar has been converted to a two-hook closure (although on this example the top hook has broken off):

          Finally, the interior stampings which include regimental stamps for IR 113 and also clothing depot stamps, the correct BAXIV stamp appears to be applied over another stamp (which also seems to read BAXIV....) A case of the tunic being initially issued to a soldier of IR 113, then reissued to RIR 110, passing once again through the BAXIV clothing depot, perhaps? Equally, the boards may not be original to the tunic, of course....

            A rare tunic in great condition. Congratulations! I'd love to see any other feldgrau tunics and mutzes you may want share with.

            Regards

              Hi Dave

              Many thanks for the thumbs-up. I've already posted my M1915 bluse on this forum, and should soon have an M1910 Leutnant's tunic to photograph. I'm mainly into other ranks and issue pieces, so I find it really difficult -and expensive- to add to my collection regularly.

              All the best

              Paul.

                  Your tunic reminded me of a photograph of a trench mortar company I have...

                    with a senior nco wearing a tunic very much like yours. I hope to see your officer's tunic soon.

                      Very informative picture dave thanks alot, interesting if you look at where the buttons sit the uniforms seem to be different cuts, and close to the wrong sizes

                        Are we talking about the different tunic patterns shown in the picture? If so, the M-1910 waffenrock, M-1910 simplified waffenrock and M-1915 feldbluse can be identified here.

                        Regards

                            If you have some specific questions, I'll try to help you out. I don't have much experience with pants, though. Also, there are a few other feldgrau collectors on the forum who may able to help you out.

                              Thanks alot dave

                              Will start posting some pictures and things, have alot of things in my collection i would like info about. I find tunics hard, i am really sort of a sceptical person, 90 year old cloth should look a certain way?, and colour pics are hard to find of ones i know are good. I put an ebay tunic on the fake list on this forum because it just looks wrong. I am probably wrong, but would like to see pics of ones that look 90 years old, in really rough condition. Stamps do not really mean alot because any one with with old hand printing presses can do that (my brother has 4). Cheers dave, u know any one who knows anything about u/v lights as far as german stamps go.
