IMPERIAL GERMAN PRUSSIAN 5TH DRAGOONS FIELD GREY ENLISTED RANKS TUNIC.

All of the tunic buttons matching in white metal, All of the closure buttons and pocket buttons are full backed, the cuff and skirt buttons are all hollow backed, the thread attaching all the buttons are identical indicating that no buttons have been lost and replaced. The metallic cuff adjuster buttons are in place. The rear skirt has its two hidden interior pockets. The lining is in two parts, the upper part being in a herringbone twill cream, nicely marked ‘B.A.X1 1915’ (11th Army Corps) followed by ‘D.R.5’ in a further block, the lower half in a grey cotton lining material, There is an extra hidden pocket just inside the front skirt, that has one metallic button missing. Both belt support rank buttons are white metal crowned and securely attached to the main body of the tunic.
