I think you need to price them.

Indeed. It happened to me at one of the German auctions recently. Only one picture provided. I took a chance and got bit. I appreciate those websites and auction houses that provide multiple, high quality pictures.

John, it appears that Obltn. von Ramin purchased the two Uberrocks just days apart. I bought the other one in the auction and it has the tailor tag as well from the same company in Berlin. Mine is dated 11 June 1912. I do like these uniforms. The colors are magnificent.

Thanks for the photos, John. I am the proud owner of two of the von Ramin uniforms from the auction. I will post photos soon.

Photoshopped on to background? Well done.

I just found out this logo is an older version for the Alkero company (Albert Kempf).

Here it is …

This cap is for a Prussian Infantry officer.

Anyone recognize the maker which used this logo?

Dan and all, What really makes this coat interesting and desirable is that it is for a Leutnant in the 2. Garde-Feldartillerie-Regiment. This regiment was formed in 1872 and garrisoned in Potsdam. Is there a tailor label anywhere? Usually, Potsdam tailors were of the highest quality. Best of...

I’ll take it, Alan. Sent you a message. Mike

I have always loved having boxes to accompany most anything -- as they say, an original box with the item makes it more desirable though these came separately with the headgear that once resided inside. I do not collect Tschapkas and these may have been meant for those. I leave it to more...

It reminds me of the Detlev Niemann updates which were real feeding frenzies. Usually I got a “sorry sold” message after sending him an email to buy as quickly as I could.

Can someone identify the General with Kronprinz Rupprecht (shown on the right)?
