    French mid 1800s epaulettes?

    Bayern replied to eurorders's topic in France

    Hello , Certainly US Navy model 1852 Epaulettes for Captains were very similar ,but the eagle was in silver and lacks on the field the anchors equally in silver .

    Hello Chris, To me they are in the Carpathians, The Dolomites were more abrupts virtually all peaks and narrow gorges . Regarding to the Carnic Alps they are very rocky . The Carpathian Mounts were lower and more soft sic in appareance.

    Unknown arm insignia

    Bayern replied to Von Thronstahl's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire

    Hello Von Thronstahl. That make sense , the shape of the collar patches is those of the French organized Legion Tchecoslovaque.certainl y the uniforms looks like AH but the man in the centre wears what appears to be a French vareuse bleu horizon ,the badge is rare the czechs used an oval one in dark blue cloth with the capitals C S in silver. the badge showed appears as a polish eagle over a pointed cloth shield .

    Nice coffee grinder . as the French used to call the MG 08 . the pic must be of the very beggining of the war . the men belonged to the 106 Infantry regiment ,a Saxon unit. note the cuffs and the monogram over the shoulderboards , the crowned G of KIng Georg .

    Hello Von Tronstahl , I think that the men in the pic are members of some of the paramilitary forces of the Austrian republic .Heimwehr .their collar patches are not Army shape

    Hello , The pic of a group of Bavarian soldiers and a few civilians is of wartime , there is not any officer in the pic . regarding to date the pic could be of end of 1914 or early 1915 . One man is a jaeger senior NCO , the others mostly infantrymen . one man wears What appears to be the uniform of the Leib Regiment .

    Bayern replied to Farkas's topic in Austro-Hungarian Empire

    Hello tony , The men of the mounted Artillery ,carried sabre and pistol . The man in the last pic wears rosettes and not stars , probably due to the dark shade of his uniform he is policeman .

    Hello , Interesting photo. the Ensign appears to carry a old model of ammo pouch ,black and studded with rivets . the Senior Nco looks like a Feldwebelleutnant and they are in the beginning of Helms ab zum gebet.
