Alpenkorps headgear edelweiss....
KMB replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Very cool close up! He is a Wuerttemberger. Do you have the full photo? -
His tunic doesn't appear to be a M1915 Feldbluse, it has 1915 straps though.

Branch of Service...

The link below shows a group of soldiers, the 4th soldier (Bavarian NCO) has a Litewka on and a feldrgrau Schirmmuetze. https://www.flickr.com/photos/drakegoodman/32694097515/in/pool-gebirgstruppe/ -
Which Bavarian Shoulder strap?
KMB replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
I would agree with the being moved from a Gebirgs Artillerie unit to a basic Artillerie unit. If I remember correctly it was common for NCO's and Officers from other units to be moved to other units. Here is a example, Hauptmann Carl Rose. He was in Prussian FAR 7 then moved to Prussian Fussartillerie Batterie Nr 102 under the Alpenkorps. He was then later moved to a FAR under the 117th ID in 1917 or 1918. Here is a photo below of him in May of 1915 (He wears the mourn band for his father's death) He was with Batterie Nr 102 during this time. His Bergmuetze is very stylish, most certain it is private purchased since his unit wouldn't have been issued them. . -

Close up of the Bergmuetze, defiantly private purchased. The Richtkanonier patch is that of a private purchased style as well. -

Possibly same unit? He has a Bergmuetze on (most likely private purchased) -
Kgl. Bayer. 3. Infant.-Rgts. Shoulder board and photo. 1915.
KMB replied to Farkas's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
I believe it was only pre war that the Bavarian Infanterie straps were red, then they switched to feldgrau straps. With the introduction of the M1915/16 straps for the Feldbluse, Feldartillerie used the red straps but with yellow bomb and numbers. -
Scarce 1908 Dienstmütze?
KMB replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment
Wouldn't this be considered a M1915 or in this case, M1916 Dienstmuetze? (1916 for Bavaria) -
Waffen SS Italian camo cap
KMB posted a topic in Germany: Third Reich: Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Equipment
Hello! I am doing a study/search on camo caps and the camo that catches my eye the most is Italian camo. Would anyone have any photos of Italian camo caps in wear or original/s that they could show? Thanks! -
Alpenkorps headgear edelweiss....

Edelweiss could be private purchased too, that could be the case. -

Hello, do you have any of Württemberg Gebirgs Kanonen Batterie Nr 6? Thanks -

Hello, I am trying to gather information in a study of the Württemberg Gebirgs Kanonen-Batterie Nr.6 and wondered if anyone has photos of this unit that they would be willing to post here? Thanks!

Thanks! I was also wondering, what was Gebirg Artillerie Kanonen Btr 10? Prussian? Bavarian? Württemberg? Thanks
