    SOS tunic purchase

    Here was the "big score" for me. It went from beneath one dealer's table to under my table on Wednesday night. This a M 1910 officer's waffenrock for the 1.Badisches LGR 109. The tunic is picture perfect except the crowns have been removed from the double-piped shoulder boards (soon to be remedied) and a little bit of mothing on the piping of the front skirt. What I really like is the rougher wool and "not so elegant" black liner and "pajama-like" inner sleeves. IMO this tunic was made for field use with a unique large pocket on the front skirt made just like the two rear "glove" pockets.

                  Hi Dave

                  Absolutely beautiful tunic!

                  I agree that the rougher style material and extra pocket probably indicate a field-service tunic. On British officer's tunics from WWI many collectors speculate that the similar internal pocket was added for trench maps, so perhaps this had a similar purpose. Either way, it's a stunning example -do you have the relevent headgear to go with it?

                  Was there much WWI Feldgrau at the SOS? And if so, did you get anything else?

                  All the best

                  Paul.

                    Hi Dave,
                    Great tunic!
                    Almost makes me want to collect WW1 again.
                    Yours,

                        I believe the thread below shows Dave's Baden 109 officers' helmet...

                          Problem is... Dave has too much Baden stuff! I think some of it was supposed to be mine but an error in timing and location messed things up.

                          Very nice stuff though. I'll get over it some day.

                              Thanks all for your comments. A tunic like this had always been on my wish list and I'm glad that both the availability and my limited resources were able to meet.

                              Paul, feldgrau was pretty light, with no more than 10 tunics surfaced during the show. The only OR tunic I recall seeing was a private purchase M 1907/10 infantry tunic with aviation shoulder straps on Malcolm Fisher's table. As far as caps were concerned, there were several decent OR cavalry visor caps for sale and seemed to move with ever higher prices from dealer's table to dealer's table. One black banded dragoon cap I recall was priced at about 650 USD and a JzP officer cap was priced in the same range. Weitze had a couple of nice feldgrau caps (same as on his website) and of course, they were untouchable, from a price standpoint. Bobby Lee of the forum picked up an awesome kraftfahr saxon officer's leather cap. I picked up my carmine banded cap previously posted by doing some trading with some fellow feldgrau enthusiasts.

                              A lot of ancillary stuff was to be had, if you looked for it. I picked up three officer's leather field belts at good prices. A friend of mine picked up a nice Hessian LIR 115 brocade belt for 275 USD.

                              Spikes were everywhere! Unfortunately, they were incredibly high and a lot of them were in less than stellar condition and/or had been "dicked" with.

                              Regards

                              Dave
