Guys, I am out of my depth with this series of German Uniform, so I need some help. I know that the standard German Chaplain field frock coak in WWI and the M12 uniform did not have shoulderboards. Chaplains retained the violet waffenfabre, with no shoulderboards. However, do anyone have any regulations dealing with the type M10 uniform? The uniform I am questioning is below. I know for a fact that chaplains did not have shoulderboards in 1914-1918 or in the Second World War. Would the M10 uniform be different? Thank you in advance!

Hey Chris:
I saw this one, too! Although the color looks a bit off, IMO this is actually a M 1910 officer's waffenrock for either Drag.R. 11 or Drag.R. 12. Dragoons had a piped standing collar, piped swedish cuff, piping along the bottom hem and silver buttons. Also, three dragoon regiments were supposed to velvet piping; black for Drag.R. 6 and dark crimson for the two regiments identified above. Athough field chaplins were piped in purple (not in velvet) with a standing collar, as you stated, no boards would be worn and a piped rolled cuff would be used.
Hope this helps

Thanks Dave and Chris for all the information on this tunic! This would have been a dream come true if it was what it claimed to be. The good news, though, is that I can now keep looking!
Guys thanks a ton for all the information. It means a lot to have people looking out for you!Comment
