Original Item: Only One Available: This is an absolutely stunning pair of Imperial German Field Grey Private Purchase M1907/10 trousers. They are constructed of a higher quality field grey wool than the standard issue uniforms. As is standard with this pattern, they are piped in red along the side.

Imperial German Feldgrau uniforms are incredibly hard to find, especially Enlisted Uniforms. Aside from the attrition of clothing worn in the trenches, much was burned as a result of the Spanish Influenza Pandemic and lice infestations. What survived was either worn out by veterans who repurposed their old uniforms as everyday clothing following the bleak years during the massive depression that raged throughout Germany, or, was simply repurposed or converted for use with the Reichswehr. It is for these reasons that on the collector’s market today Imperial German Officer’s uniforms are far more common than enlisted. While enlisted uniforms were either destroyed, worn out, or repurposed, officers' uniforms, on the other hand, were generally preserved by the veterans and their families, who could simply afford to do so.

The trousers are in fantastic condition with all buttons retained. The metal catch is also retained however it is a bit oxidized. This is an extremely scarce set which is even more difficult to find in this condition. The silk/rayon waistband is the cherry on top. One of the rarest sets of pants we have ever offered, ready to complete your uniform set!
