Hi Bernhard, I have some officer pics, will dig them out for you... -
Hi, i am guessing he was released from the army before the Wound badge was created... in the years after the war noone was interested... only at the beginning of the 1930s , when folks in Germany started "uniforming up" again, that many applied for the wound badge... I have a few groups with Wound badges issued in the 1930s whwn the guys needed them for SA or NSKK or whatever uniforms..

Unfortunately in the group photo where his Edelweiss is visible there is a blemish on the Photo

That is one of the most fantastic documents I have seen. I would go over bodies for something like that... amazing research potential!! I am green with envy!

Here is a very unusual one.....

Very nice indeed... I wonder when it became the Unit Badge as opposed to a distiction?

Thanks Glenn :-)

Wow... other than a bavarian Jäger, that would have been a regiment on the top of my list!!

Hi, I am not so sure either way... but when you take into account that the Seitengewehr M84/98 already existed... why make another wooden handeled bayonet? The Ersatz were cheap and chearful ersatz for a "real" bayonet... but the SG14 was as much work as a 84/98.... why bother to make them? Best Chris
-
Hi, A German Bayonet site. Have no idea if that is correct, but they do break the regular pattern....
-
Aparrently the SG14 bayonets were probably meant for export, but were taken into the army in 1914 due to shortages...
