I've heard the ones you said that are in the Kraus book are both reproductions

Hmm strange, A friend told me what I said, he said he read it from Kraus book 

But I am sure that Bavaria didn't just use black

Kraus book is where I got it from. There was green, black and red. Green was for truppen from 3rd Jäger Rgt, Bavarian and Prussian Gebirgs MG, Württemberg Gebirgs truppen (Both Schützen and MG used the green, minus their Gebirgs Artillery). Black was for Gebirgs Artillery, so Bavarian, Prussian and Württ Gebirgs Artillery would use the black. Red was for Gebirgs Minenwerfer, so Bavarian and Prussian Gebirgs Minenwerfer would use red. Württemberg didn't have Gebirgs Minenwerfer. As for the caps them selves, Bavaria and Prussia's Bergmütze had a vulcanfiber visor painted feldgrau, while Württemberg's Bergmütze had wool visor. There were private purchased version for both. Both came with a full liner with leather sweat band, and air vents. The issued version had partial lining and a cloth sweatband.

Hello .the beatiful cap looks for me, as a Wurtemburgische gebirgsbataillon one . flat topped and with green piping . the forsters green of WW1 era was darker (piping ) and a light greengrey , the uniform .

@Bayern, that isn't a Württemberg Bergmütze. They only had piping on the top, there weren't single button Bergmützen either, they were round like a Krätzchen and flat. and they had sewing lines on the visor so the material wouldn't part from the inner material. @The Prussian, Bavaria didn't just have black piping. Black was for Artillery, so Bavarian, Prussian and Württemberg Artillery would have the black piping. Red was for Minenwerfer, so both Bavaria and Prussia would only have red. The cap in the first photo, with the shoulder board coming out, has a Kaiser Karl Officers cockade on it (Has K in the middle) 

Hello, did the Landesschützen or Standesschützen ever use the brass cockades? Would it be OK to wear a brass FJI pin on a feldgrau kappe for a 1915-16 Landesschützen or Standesschützen impression? Thanks

Interesting. I never saw that style of pattern on Treße but hey we learn new things everyday. 

That is nice one Chris! 

Would anyone happen to have photos of original WW1 German Bergmützen? I've been searching for photos of original ones, but only having little luck. Thanks

Would that style of Treße be private purchased? Thanks

A good close up of the M1914 Bergmütze with Edelweiß from eBay. 

Hello, I am looking for photos of German soldiers with M1912 Steyr Hahn pistols. Thanks

Well, there goes my impression of doing a Baden Gebirgs Artillerie impresison . Another unit I had in mind was Württembergisches Gebirgs Kanonen Batterie Nr 6. They were under Bayerisches Gebirgs Artillerie Abt Nr 2 from May 1915 to Oct 1915 weren't they?

Ahh ok! Thanks. Did any of these Badisches Gebirgs-Artillerie units fight at Tirol in 1915?

Hello, about a week ago a friend sent me a photo of a monument for a Baden Gebirgs Artillerie unit and I decided to search for anything I could find on this unit but I found nothing so I asked in a few other groups for any photos or history of the unit, but no one in the groups know nothing of this unit. Thanks

I included the photo of the monument with a red line under where it says the unit.

I included a photo of a monument for this unit below.

And troops of the 3rd Jäger Rgt since the 2nd Bavarian Jäger Brigade was moved to the 200th IR.

Thank you

Hello, I am looking for photos of how the Troddel was wrapped on the trench knife scabbard. Thanks! 

Looking for good pictures of Bergmuetzes.
