Unknown Tunic

[Bodey]

Hello everyone,
I saw this tunic online and I was wondering if anyone is able to identify it. It is being sold as a German piece, however this tunic seems different from most imperial tunics, specifically with the collar, the rear skirt, and the button configuration on the cuffs. From what Ive found, it appears to have a "polish" cuff pattern, see here: (Polish Cuff). If this is an example of a polish cuff pattern, then it could be narrowed down to a few possibilities, as it appears this style is not common. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Michael

Can you post a photo of the back of the uniform.

"Polish cuffs similar to those worn on Ulan tunics were worn on a few obscure units such as Landwehr-Kavellerie and Württemberg Landjäger-korps.""Other than Ulan, there were only five units in the Imperial German Army that utilized Polish cuffs on tunic with a vertical central opening making this an uncommon combination."

I have a feeling that this maybe a police or fireman's uniform.

Will post a photo of the back when the seller sends me one. I did not even think to look into it being police/fireman's uniform. Thanks for the reply!

The five units in the Imperial German Army that utilized Polish cuffs on tunic with a vertical central opening were:
Adjutants to Princes
Landwehr-Kavellerie
Württemberg Landjägerkorps
Prussian Leibendarmerie
Unteroffizier Schools

I pretty sure you can rule out it being Landwehr-Kavellerie and Württemberg Landjägerkorps as well as an Adjutant to a Prince. The Prussian Leibendarmerie would have had Litzen on the collar and cuff. That leave NCO schools. Which the more I look at it the more that makes sense.

Given this is the case, Im assuming that the cadets in training would be the one to wear these uniforms?

I believe so, I assume the staff would be a more senior rank.
