Here are the twins......

Very nice indeed!!!
-
HI, but at least the other unofficial ones are German!
-
Hi, I did not know it was one of the "accepted" ones for bavarians? I guess even less official than the 11th Bav Inf Div etc.?
-
HI, I think the Prussian Garde had relieved the Bavarians and where there the day the French captured the village.
-
Hi Gilles, thank you for the info!
-
Hi, this is not one I know... are they wearing something Austrian?
-
A really nice find!!°
-
HI, how much variation is there to the Bavarian Buckle? I think of them as "There is a brass and nickle version... and a steel one...." ... but with Saxon ones there seem to be way more variation (I am talking the standard one here, not regiment specific. Sttel, brass, zink etc.. Were the saxons simply more experimental?

Hmmmmm .... will the postie make my day today?????

Hmmmmmmmm..... Friday evening I should be enjoying what is basically an "almost 50" year olds only shot of playing with a set of twins.... :-)

Hi, Thanks! I had missed the Fauve link by which you mean the dark natural leather? Thanks Chris

oh boy.... once that ball starts rolling it is hard to stop it... who says lightning does not strike twice!!!

Hi Glenn, thanks for that. It is strange to think that in 1914 they marched out with black Belts, but brown ammo pouches, bino cases, map cases etc... and the soldiers had black leather but the officers brown? BestChris
-
I am having a bit of a problem figuring out who wore Brown and who wore black Belts? And who wore white ones (With the Bunte Rock) I thought a prewar Bavarian soldier would have worn Brown, but have recently been informed they wore black.... so who wore brown?? Thanks Chris

Told you so ! :-) Winkelblech was killed in the battle for Saarburg on the 20th of August 1914. The photo above shows his company marching in the town after the battle....
