Cavalry Waffenrock 2./K.R.13

[Eclipse]

Well travelled Waffenrock

Hi There, i was perusing the site and found this tread, you'll be happy to know this waffenrock is now residing down under and getting lots of love, it was my second Kav purchase. and i love it.
Unless its a happy conicidence and there are two identical tunics out there which i guess wouldnt be unusual.
Thanks, I'm glad you shared.

Ha ha I'm such a novice, still getting excited over nice uniforms, my 13 Kav is different only one pip on the shoulderboard. its beautiful though, just need a better mannkin to display it. how do you guys use the mannikins with boots ? the dummy is supported through the foot, i dont fancy cutting a hole in the shoe ?

Hello
Must be a happy coincidence as I still own this waffenrock and its still in my collection. Search around the forum im sure there is a thread relating to displaying boots on a mannequin all mine are just half bust.

Very nice Blaine

however, not Kavallerie in this case but Wehrersatzwesen form Wehrkreis IX 1935-1939 (recruiting and replacement)

I'm a bit confused. This is not Cav yellow?

Colour is the same but a different branch and you got something much more scarce then a Cav tunic

Hey I like the sound of that

What exactly would he have been a replacement for? As in what award would be appropriate for the loop?

- The IX is for the 9th recruitment district (IX Wehrkreis)

see here: http://www.axishistory.com/axis-nati...y-wehrkreis-ix

- pre war award like Reiterabzeichen (horseman) or Sports badge

Blaine's tunic is for Wehrkreis-Remonteschule IX (Gardelegen)

http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/...rdelegen-R.htm

or (less likely) Wehrkreis-Reit-und Fahrschule IX (Oschatz) and is indeed rare.

Thank you for the input Johnny! I'm glad I picked this up a few years back. I have been focusing on rare type waffenrocks so this is great news!
