Eigentumsstück (private purchase) Model 1895 NCO Waffenrock from Sachsen (Saxon) Kgl. Sächs. Schützen (Füsilier)-Regiment Prinz Georg Nr.108, Dresden, XII Armee Korps. Sachsen NCOs above the rank of Unteroffizier wore gilt NCO lace around the collar and cuffs of the Waffenrock, however, only Sachsen NCOs for Jäger, Train, and Schützen also wore the NCO lace on the top of the Tschako as well.

The Waffenrock is made from a high quality Dunkelgrün (dark green) doeskin wool with black collar and cuffs with Ponceaurot (poppy red) piping. The Sachsen Dunkelgrün was darker than Preußen Jäger, looking almost green/black.
