Hello, I suggests you to take a look into German Daggers , Luger proof marks .

Getting hot !

Well , its OK

The Germans were prone to carry all type of badges in the Front

No objections to the Hilt Autopsy !

Very very interesting pieces !

Hello,the first photo says that is a visit to the Ist Belgian Army Corps in Cologne . the Corp was previously the Belgian Force of Occupation In Germany because the British shared their Zone with Belgians. The name of the Belgian General to the left of the photo appears to be Gierst .

Hello Gentlemen,

I have some photos from the second and post-war period that belong to General Matzky. Some have German subtitles that I can't read. Perhaps you can help me to read and identify as people portrayed in the photos.

Soon I will update with the photos of the second war

Thanks.

It says Earl Mountbatten SHAPE April 1958

The middle photo says Lt Col Mc Guinn US Rocket Batt Or Base , October 1958  Sonnenheim ? am Mainz

Good, then, you can enter in : socialhizo. com / historia de colombia /historia de nueva granada .

Its soap indeed but tastes as cheese !

The darker cloth of the collar was a feature of the 1915 Bluse. I prefer to think that after the War altough Prince Leopold weared uniform in public in many ocasions he chosed to wear Bavarian ones, The pic  date is after the 4th March 1918 . the Prince received in these date the Great Cross of the Iron Cross he is wearing on the pic 

I am not able to read the text but the ilustrated example is of clear Red Army inspiration with the Swastika as Mongolian Characteristic national Symbol .

Many Thanks Tony ! for a while i thought in a Cavalry uniform , Austrian Hussars by the blue collar stripe but the absence of the shoulder cord gold and black over the left shoulder of the Bluse signals Infantry .I asked about the lagermutze cavalry type because cavalrymen carried on the left side the Letters D or H followed By a number . 

My Pleasure !

Hello Gentlemen , The peacetime backing of the SBs was only rosen rot , the same with the 1907 10 Field Grey uniform. It  was with the 1915 Bluse that all Prussian Dragoons Regiments adopted a cornflower blue Shoulder strap for NCOs and Men piped in the old Regimental SBs colour . the Officers shoulder boards were underlayed in cornflower blue with a inner piping in the regimental colour ,Rose red in this case. Another point about the Pic and the uniform. the Absence of the Bavarian Borte on the collar reinforces the presumption of the Prussian Dragoons n 7 uniform M 1915

A rare subjet but I thik that they weared the same rank insignias of the Red Army in their first version 

They were close ties with the Red Army who helped to expulse Baron Unger von Stemberg and the filo chinese Mongolian chiefs

Tony many thanks for share with us ! the Karls bluse is notable. complete with rank star and blue facing strip on the collar. a question ,the peakless cap have some letters and numbers on the left side ?

Prince Leopold was Chief of the 7 th westfalisches Dragoner Regiment Feldmarschall Prinz Leopold von Bayern on the Pic he is wearing a Field grey uniform . stand and fall collar . they are not buttons visible so one tends to think of a Bluse . If it is the uniform of the Dragoons then the backing of the shoulder cords must be cornflower blue with a inner piping of rosa rot ,rose red ,the regimental distinctive colour of the 7th 

Stuka, Do you read Spanish ?

Hello Gentlemen , The  Royal Greek Air Force pilot badge was in gold wire and very alike the bird sic of the RNAS. naturally with Royal Crown . In Republican times 1924 to 1935,the crown was cut off, but your badge is not of Greek Air Force, 

Stuka , Nueva Granada was a Spanish Viceroyalty created in 1717 that lasted until 1819 .You can take a look in Wikipedia about it. Viceroyalty of New Granada . 

Hello ,Republica de Nueva Granada was the name of a Nation of the North of South America which was created in 1831 and existed until 1858 being replaced by the Grenadine Confederation which transformed in 1863 into The United States of Colombia . Nueva Granada comprised today Colombia and Panama
