HI. Would like to ask you a basic question - were the buttons with crown reserved only prussian uniforms, or were these sewn also to uniforms from other contingents (Wurtmeberg?)?
Thank for the help

Depends somewhat on the time-frame. From 1907-1915 all contingents, except for the Bavarians, wore crown buttons on the front. cuffs, pocket flaps and tail of their tunics.
There was a new universal crown button introduced with the September 1915 regulations that was supposed to be worn by everyone, but the Bavarians continued to use the lion buttons that they had on hand until supplies were exhausted.
