Umundurowanie służby leśnej na obszarze zaboru pruskiego w końcu XIX wieku

Nearly one and a half century ago, a large territory of Poland became part of the Prussian (since 1871 – German) State. In the territories annexed as a result of the Three Partitions, forest administration structured on the Prussian model was very soon installed. This entailed adoption of the Prussian uniforms by the new forest administration. The forest service uniforms studied in this paper were introduced by virtue of the Regulations of 29 December 1868. Three kinds of uniforms were in use at the end of the 19th century: forest, temporary and state one. These basically consisted of a frock coat, trousers, a hat or a cap, and a coat.
