Frock Coat of Konteradmiral Edmund Schulz

[DonC]

Thanks to WAF member Kurt I wound up with this mint frock coat named to Edmund Schulz: http://www.geocities.ws/orion47.geo/...LZ_EDMUND.html


Although he was essentially a supernumerary in WWII, Schulz had some interesting commands in the Kaiserliche Marine and Reichsmarine, including the minelayer Brummer and the pre-Dreadnought Hannover, as well as being the Nav officer on both the ill-fated WWI Gneisenau and the Schleswig-Holstein of Westerplatte fame.


The frock is stone mint and a really beautiful uniform. If anyone has any additional biographical or service-related information on Herr Schulz, I would be very appreciative!

Don.
Thank you. I saw this frock coat at Kassel show last year. Nice one. I like the cellon rank stripes
Made in 1913 he used this quite a long time.

Yes, his career spanned almost fifty years, even though he retired in 1923 and was brought back in 1940.
