I really only need info on the uniform from the waist up, though I'd appreciate info on everything. This is what I need at a minimum.

Helmet
Cuirass
cartridge box
jacket
cavalry sabre

It's for a future project and it's hard finding stuff on the subject. Thanks.~Gary

Now, I'm not sure, this could be a 1914 model.... but I figure it's quite similar, perhaps even unchanged since 1870...

Try here:
Grosser-Generalstab

Though not very clear drawings, they may be of some help.

BTW, this website is an excelent research resource for german army matters.

Johan-

Beautiful helmet specimen. From your personal collection?

Keith

An actual cuirass used during that period will be hard to find. For my "Clash of Steel" Prussian I used a later example for the model.

Same goes for the cartridge box, sabre, and jacket.

I would post a pic of the M1867 helmet but my "browse" button disappeared.....Gordy?!

Guys, thanks a lot, I appreciate it. Johan, that's a neat helmet, worthy of my pic folder. Jason. I still have the helmet pics you sent and have the same one you just sent on the back of an older issue of Uniformes. I agree that the uniform changes that occured between the 1870's to 1900 most likely occured in the design of mostlycartridge pouches and other personal gear while the uniforms seemed little changed. I'm just puzzled that there is very little on the German Imperial Army of this time. I've suggested a title (or two) to Osprey at least 3-4 times. I have since found what appear to be great French references on the period (shame I can't read it), but the pictures are a goldmine unto themselves. The search continues.~Gary
