Farkas Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Hi Bayern you know I readily jump to conclusions! I thought maybe the guy with his back to camera? And the one behind the ‘blurry’ guy? The headwear was the reason... 18 hours ago, Bayern said: Hello tony , War games ,but i dont see Germans , only Austrians tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farkas Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hi Gents Big group of Jäger, marksman award and plenty of edelweiss present but no medals yet except this one with arms crossed... im guessing perhaps the instructor with his class. Trumpeters to the fore... And he’s bearing machine gunner collar badges and a Karl Kreuz/bravery ribbon pair.... tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Lang Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Dear Tony, the group photo, depicts Landesschützen, not Jaeger. Their cap is ornated with a Spielhahnstoß and the collars with Edelweiß. Is there any note, on the reverse? Best wishes, Enzo (E.L.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayern Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hello tony, Interesting . Is any date on the reverse ? They look as Home depot recruits later in the war . field grey caps , pre war waffenrock with the colour of the collar concealed , field grey breeches and putees and ersatz belts . The second photo shows what appears to been recruits also but tthese with hungarian pike grey trousers . and with blue blusen and not waffenrock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hi Bayern, Sadly impossible to make out the date stamp and unusually its not handwritten either. 18 hours ago, Bayern said: Hello tony, Interesting .

Names him as Herbert Von Bitter and I think it’s 301D or 30ID ‘X marks the spot’ man in the left - ‘Lans Kotsoki’ (I think...) and tony —-//—— Hi again Bayern, Just a thought- is there anything relevant about the finish of the peak of their caps? Does it help date it? the last pic above on this post has a black peak as do all 3 in the pic on previous post #63 the first picture on #63 (below) with 4 in it, just 1 ‘dark’ and rest pale.... cheers tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 nHello tony , Hello tony , the current peak of Austro hungarian caps was black ,made usually of leather. with the war shortages of raw materials the peaks were made of cloth in the same colour of the cap .sometimes ,of black coloured waxed cloth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next one dated 18 August 1918 and and tony ———///———- Hi Bayern thanks as always. Cavalryman picture - i now see the republic cap badge On 01/12/2018 at 01:29, Bayern said: Hello tony, The first cavalryman is of the republican army . the other man with sabre and cap without peak looks like an artillerymen of the imperial army .the rank Geschutzvormeister ,Korporal in the Infantry The second pic had looked a little odd to me. An Nco with a sword. Was it usual for the artillery Korporal to have a sabre please? Lastly, I wonder what you make of this next one? Maybe not military?Is it police perhaps? Dated 1928 and taken in a Vienna studio. Cheers Bayern..... tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
