As far as I know this type of sport medals were general purpose - the empty place engraved with an actual inscription for instance 1st Place or similar.
The word "verseny" means tournament.
Yesterday I picked someone up from the airport, and was surprised with a two and half litre bottle of Palinka made in Transylvania. It was made last fall, so it's "aged" by now.
Probably the world's most informative WWI memorial: the commemorative plaque of the m. kir. 15. Honvéd Infantry Regiment and the 15. Népfelkelő (Landsturm) Infantry Regiment.
Budapest, courtyard of the Hungarian Military Museum.
Paul: You are genius!
According Knötel's note : "Das Motto des Garde-Hussar-Regiment lautete: Peninsula - Waterloo - El Bodon"
Thank You very much Gentlemen! It was tricky!
IrishGunner: Komárom was a garrison town (since the Roman times) - so we have three more WWI memorials in the southern side. In addition we have fortresses, maritime museum and thermal spa so Korárom worth more than a coffe break.
Nearly on all Hungarian settlement can you find WWI memorials - as an 1917 act prescribed for every municipality. Later I will show some of them.
Colin: Thanks, I love this song. And I collect old photograps...
Supposedly came from Iraq...an Iraqi M 90 helmet was pressed into it as "liner". No markings, only a rude leather chinstrap. It is possible that it's an Iraqi helmet?
A relief for memory of the K.u. K. 9. Reitende Artillerie Regiment (Mounted Artillery Regiment) in Komárom, on the side wall of the Roman Catholic Church. Erected in 1930, the sculptor was a decorated WWI veteran.
A Model 1905 SD cap with RMP cap badge with cypher of King George VI.
The cap seems OK to me, but as far as I know this type used very long period by the RMP.
But I'm not sure with the badge...
I would be happy for any additional informations!
The vehicle is a Rába Botond (officiallay: Botond 1938M mintájú terepjáró rajgépkocsi), the most successful product of the WWII-era Hungarian war industry.

The helmet's shell was the same as the german but the liner was hungarian-made. Note the different ventilation holes and the lug on the nape.
Italian Army Infantry soldier. The collar indicates the Friuli Infantry Brigade (87. and 88. Infantry Regiments). Enlisted or lower NCO, the rank insignia were on the sleeves.
After 1908 the dark blue uniform used for ceremonial purposes only
Do you think his overcoat?
It's called körgallér = cape. A lighter and comfortable alternative of the greatcoat for mess dress and undress for officers and after 1940 for professional NCOs. LtCol Konok wears the pre-1940 version.
