Naxos

It is not an Ulan tunic (Ulanka) It appears to be a Litewka or more likely a Dragoner ?berrock (cant see how long it is).

Very nice tunic All the Reiterabzeichen made by L. Chr. Lauer N?rnberg-Berlin show the right elbow of the rider. All the Reiterabzeichen made by Steinhauer & L?ck L?denscheid the horse and rider look slightly different and there is no right elbow visible. The post war originals with out the ? are all made by Steinhauer & L?ck = no elbow The post war copies (fakes) of Reiterabzeichen with ? are made with the Steinhauer & L?ck (no elbow) motive. In some of my original WWII portraits of soldiers wearing a Reiterabzeichen you can tell if it is a Lauer or a S&L by the right elbow of the rider either present or missing. Pic #4 I believe is a very well made copy of the S&L Reiterabzeichen. Have a look at Pic #3 It is a late war zinc original S&L (no elbow) Can you post a close-up of your Reiterabzeichen?

The sculls are Panzertruppe - not SS - The tabs are not Panzer (not sure what they are)

:rolleyes: sorry

Sergeant Schr?der of the 1. company, FR39 was awarded the EKII by A.K.O. (Allerh?chster Kabinets Ordre) from Dec. 3, 1870 He is mentioned in the regimental history

I had a hard time reading it myself - a bit fuzzy Hardy

Sergeanten Hanns Carl Alexander Gustav Schr?der im Niederreihnischen F?silier-Regiment Nr. 39 das Eiserne Kreuz zweiter Klasse ..............

Agree

Ok, I think the entry in the Wehrpass reads: l.f.H.18 (not l.f.G.) = leichte Feldhaubitze 18 (10,5 cm) Hardy

Thank you Jens! Here is one for Sascha: Badenscher Z?hringer L?wen Orden

Otto von Below (1857-1944) in 1916 GdI and commander 8. Armee That's quite a sabre he is sporting - "old school"

correction "F.14 H 14/19 (t)" = 10cm leichte Feld Haubitze 14/19 (tschechische) Richtkanonier = gun aimer

According to Speedytop's document (if I understand it correctly) -Bezirksfeldwebel it is a position available to suited NCOs - The rank is that of a Feldwebel .

Yes, I believe so. He received infantry training from Oct. 3. 05 to Nov. 13, 05 at the 1st battalion IR113 then he was recommended for service in a medic coy of field hospital

Nice one Chip - i like the subdued look and Hessian color woven in. I agree with Chip's statement - however, if both boards come from the same source, it points to Friedrich August Hardy

September 1917, Sch?dler (his name) was tranferred to the Ballonzug 139 Luftschiffer-Ersatz-Abteilung 4 in Mannheim. I cannot read his first name or rank on the front - need better scan

I agree - beautiful boards Gro?herzog Friedrich August (1852-1931)

Chris, have a close look at the first set of boards - it seems there is a ghost image of a two digit number. It appears there was a 13, 18 or 19 before
