Description: The use of yellow gold and purple on the uniform gives the viewer the impression that it was personally connected to the Emperor or Kaiser (meaning Caesar). The purple toga of Roman times could only be worn by the Emperor but small thin strips of purple cloth could be put on the edges of togas for Senators and Equestrians. It should also be noted the Imperial Standards of the Kaiser were made in yellow gold and purple as well.The shirt has several stains and pull thread areas. No spots too dark, however. Kaiser Imperial Band uniform Waffenrock dress coat shirt Prussian WWI German. You are buying the coat only. The yellow gold and black ribbon bar looks to be a pre-WWI variant of the "Military Merit Order", awarded by the Kingdom of Wurttemberg, which joined the German Empire in 1871. However, the order being from the Kingdom of Wurttemberg was one of the older military orders of the states of the German Empire. It was founded on February 11, 1759 by Karl Eugen, Duke of Wurttemberg. There were three versions awarded depending on the soldier’s rank. The order underwent several more revisions over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It became obsolete with the fall of the Württemberg monarchy in the wake of Germany’s defeat in World War I. The 59th (4th Posen) Infantry "Baron Hiller von Gaertringen" was created May 5th 1860.
