    Bavarian 1.Inf.Regt. Shoulder board


    Recommended Posts

    Hello,

    I've just got this combat veteran shoulder board of a Hauptman. The colours of the thin blue threads (what are those called?) say to me it's Bavarian. I was wondering if it's possible to determine which regiment it is, 1.st König? 1.st Reserve? 1.st Landsturm? Thanks in advance!

    I bought it as I liked it as it was very worn, unlike most unissued boards aviable.

     

    Thanks for the help!

    Hello!

    Inf.Rgt.1 had a monogramm. So it´ll be Reserve or Landwehr. Footartillery is possible too. Bavarian units didn´t have the prussian crossed guns.

    The blue threads are called "Durchzüge" (pl.), singular "Durchzug".

    Don´t try to find the word in a dictionary, then you´ll find " draught". Durchzug in this kind is an old german word, that is not in use anymore
