Light Artillery Officer's Shell Jackets

[FTrooper]

Does anyone have pictures of the red trimmed Light Artillery Officer's jacket? They were authorized along with the Russian Shoulder Knots, but I can't seem to find a good image of one. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Curt,

As always you lead the way...but my issue with these images (and others) is that hey look like the standard officers roundabout "stable" jacket...I am trying to figure out how the Light Artillery one was OPTIONALLY trimmed in red. I am sadly suspecting that even at the time, most officers did not take that option. I can't make out the detail in the first image to well...do you think it is piped?
