U.S. Army WWI M1912 Officer Summer Field Uniform

(8011MOM-C)(UPS)(RM1 Basket #47)

LIMITED ITEM. SURPLUS - PREVIOUSLY OWNED. Once they are gone, we may not get any more. Sold As Is - NON-REFUNDABLE. 

WW I (1914-18). My father purchased this U.S. Army WWI M1912 Officer Summer Field Uniform at least 25-years ago along with the rifle & powder horn (being sold separately). He purchased them from a collector who due to illness had to sell off most of his collection and wanted to see it go to someone who loved it like him. He told my father he had been collecting such items for over 50-years. Although there are many other items in his collection both WWI and WWII, this grouping he purchased as one and therefore, being sold together as exactly as we purchased it. He did not mention any modifications made to the boots or any other part of the uniform. I see no modifications made to the uniform but do believe there was one made to the boots. At some point in time a tag was added to the inside jacket, probably from the individual he purchased the uniform from but I have no way to verify that.

The Shirt/Jacket has a manufacturer tag, "By the House of Kuppenhiemer". The House of Kuppenheimer actually made these uniforms for the U.S. Army prior and during WWI. The pants do not have any tag in them at all. As far as I can tell the cloth/canvas leggins are the correct style for the era as well as the collar insignias. The Leather leggins are the correct style for the era but do look mismatched. Originally, I thought that the color of one was much darker because it has sat for years tucked inside the other, but I no longer think that is the case. I have looked closer to the stitching and they appear to me to be two different leggins but that could easily be because the soldier who owned the uniform may have taken a one from another fallen soldier because one of his may have been damaged. The Canteen, Canteen Cup and Canteen Cover match every original I have ever seen in my 45 years in the Surplus business. The Ammunition pouches match originals I have seen. The Leather Pistol Holster matches the Hoyt Holster of the era. It shows signs of wear but I cannot see the US printed on the front.

Shirt/Jacket: Only One Available. This is an excellent condition cotton (with some dried blood and dirt) summer khaki pattern 1912 field blouse for an officer in the Infantry. It features rimmed buttons, stand up collar, and WWI US & US Army Motor Transport Collar Discs with Backs in fantastic condition.

In accordance with regulations as early as 1898, all commissioned officers and enlisted men were required to wear a field service blouse made of "cotton drilling or khaki" in a light-brown color. However, this change in uniform only applied to the service uniform. For marches, fatigue duty, and everyday wear, troops were told to wear a blue wool surge, 5-button field blouse with a rolled collar. Regulations were updated between 1898 and 1911, and in August of 1911, the Quartermaster General approved the change from a stand-and-fall collar to a simpler standing version. This style of blouse was worn by Pershing's Army Expeditionary Force during their deployment to Europe in 1917.

A Puttee, derived from the Hindi word paṭṭī meaning "bandage," is a leg covering that wraps tightly around the lower part of the leg from the ankle to the knee. Also known as legwraps, leg bindings, puttees provide support and protection as a compression garment. They were commonly worn by both mounted and dismounted soldiers, often replacing traditional leather or cloth gaiters. The Puttee's included with this Uniform do not show signs of real wear. They have been wrapped up tight and tucked in the boots that came with this uniform since we acquired the set. They do have moth holes around the outer edges of the leg covering that was exposed - see pictures.

1882 Campaign/Field Shoe: It appears that during the early 1900s, the army continued to utilize the 1882 type Campaign/Field Shoe for field service. According to available data, there was a significant surplus of these shoes from the Spanish American War and the conservative QTMC chose to continue distributing the older model until a newer field/marching shoe was approved at a later date. This particular shoe shows all the signs of a used WWI shoe and came to us all together with the WWI Uniform, but the bottom of the shoe appears to have been replaced at some time with a new rubber bottom. I am not sure what brought this about or exactly when it came to be. In my opinion the leather bottom to the shoe was replaced probably in the 50's or 60's.

Shirt & Pants Manufacturer: In 1906, the company operated "The House of Kuppenheimer" branches in Boston and New York, with sales in Washington, D.C. handled by Isidor Grosner of 1013 Pennsylvania Ave., NW. During the World War I, Kuppenheimer manufactured the uniforms for the U.S. Army. By 1910, the company employed close to 2,000 men and women at shops in and around Chicago.
