Are these 3rd artillery or pioneer boards were they different? the tunic is a '10' pattern B.A.II. 1915 stamped. May have lost Mr Chips mail and I hate keep bothering him, cleaned out my computer a bit.

Hoss, First of all, you never bother me (at least you haven't yet! ).

Simplified straps would be perfect for this tunic. I assume it did not have the shoulder loops for the M07 versions. As to the type of unit, well, these low numbers can be just about anything you want, as there would be several types of units that wore them. With no piping, we don't know what they originally were. In your case, however, the number "3" is not a good number for the b.B.A.II. All the infantry units and pioneers I can find with the #3 are from the b.B.A.I.

The straps could be 3.b.FAR too, but they were from the b.B.A.III.

Anyway, the straps would look nice on the tunic, but would not jive with the corps markings.

Eric,

If you get too disappointed you can send me the tunic and I'll be sure to return it once I find the correct straps.
