Spain. Cavalry Soldier’s Tunic from the 1926 Regulations, Spanish Civil War
Khaki tunic corresponding to the uniform regulations established in 1926, used during the Spanish Civil War by both the Republican Army and the Nationalist Army. The general khaki uniform was introduced for enlisted personnel in July 1926 and remained in service during the war, with modifications introduced by both sides. The enlisted men’s tunic was characterized by its closed turn-down collar, five front buttons and shoulder straps fastened by a button.
The collar retains two metal insignia of the Cavalry Branch, consisting of two crossed lances with pennants and two crossed sabres. This emblem had already been established in earlier uniform regulations and was retained in the 1926 regulations. During the monarchy it could appear surmounted by the royal crown; following the proclamation of the Second Republic, the monarchical elements were removed from military uniforms. The tunic retains its 5 front buttons, together with the two pocket buttons, the two shoulder-strap buttons and the two sleeve buttons. The front is in good condition, although the rear of the sleeve has some moth holes.
Shoulder width: 38 cm. Sleeve length: 55 cm.
