This photograph of a marine (Seesoldat) in peacetime service dress shows the black leather Jäger-style shako dressed for parade with an enveloping black horsehair plume; the raised oval cockade in Imperial colors surmounts a brass eagle-and-anchor plate. The 1893 tunic (see Plate C1) was styled after the Army’s 1842/95 Waffenrock, with a white standing collar and cuffs, blue “Brandenburg” cuff-flaps, white piping, and yellow double Litzen. Here it is mostly hidden by the M1867 enlisted ranks’ black greatcoat, worn by the Seebataillone into World War I. (AdeQ HA)
