Hello, I came across this forum while trying to ID the uniform worn in a photo of one of my German ancestors. Possibly from about 1870s-1880s. Any insights would be appreciated!
Thanks
Mark

Seeing the cuffs would be a big help, but it looks like the 1891 uniform with the standing collar and wrap around collar litzen.
