Ulsterman Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Ack! No regimental number on shoulder boards! That is quite a career, from Unterofficer to Unterlt. in a few short years. What is the arm badge on his sleeve in picture 2? Marksman or Jaeger thingy? Edited January 29, 2015 by Ulsterman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think we can assume he was a Kriegsfreiwilliger with the "one year volunteer" exam under his belt when he joined up. He would have in due course progressed to Unteroffizier d.R., Vizefeldwebel d.R. (Offizier-Aspirant) and then Leutnant d.R. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Gents Are the tunics private purchase? his wool boards are sewn in the shoulder seams. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Eric,Bavarian shoulder boards of the simplified M07 and M15 patterns were normally left unfinished at the bottom end (not sewn shut), as they were just going to be sewn into the shoulder seam. This was on issue tunics and was different from all other contingent's straps of these patterns, which were sewn on to the shoulder rather into it. It is confusing, in that private purchase straps are most often sewn into the seam.I believe the tunics in the photos are issue ones that may have had the typical NCO collar alteration.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
