Simius , Dont try please to enforce the History . Its true that the Hungarian Parliament intented to retire of the KuK Army all Hungarians but to no avail .apart not all the Hungarians were from the 1848 Party . I remember tou that the first Commander of the Honved was Archduke Joseph Karl Ludwig 1831 1905 ,son of the Archduke Joseph the Palatin of Hungary . and it was the Commander until his death in 1905. Remember also that the Honved dont have a proper General Corps, the Colonels of the Honved once nominated as General changed their tshako plate to the KuK eagle . altough he continued to wear the Hungarian General Uniform . The Generals of the KuK army commanded to the Honved weared also the so called Maria Theresa uniform for hungarian generals

Simius . The 32 Honved Infantry Regiments weared a distinctive uniform, different of that of the Hungarian Regiments of the Common Army . In 1914 the peacetime uniform comprised a double breasted blue jacket with red hungarian knots braided on the cuffs and rear of the collar which was also contoured with red cord . Madder red . buttons were yellow metal ,the tight fitting Hungarian trouser were light blue and with Hungarian knots braided in red cord on the front of the legs . In Pike Grey Field Uniform the Honved Infantry wear Slate Grey collar patches for all the Regiments and slate grey knots on the trousers . All the Hungarian Common Regiments named by Ian weared collar patches in regimental colour and yellow black braid on trousers .

Simius . You are wrong , into the Kaiserlich und Koeniglich Army existed Hungarian Infantry Regiments Indeed . They wear the bear paws and the yellow black braid on the tight fitting Hungarian trousers . The men into these units were mostly Hungarian ethnics ,

My pleasure ! to me was vey interesting to see

I agree Antonio.Rokiski ever put his tradename .

Linasl . The use of silver and gold denotes a specially made Badge. commisioned for someone .usually badges of such quality have on the reverse the name or seal of the manufacturer .the gold star was authorized in 1927 to distinguish the Observers.

First time I see a picture of Soviet Lancers .but they are Soviet indeed . Budionovkas and light blue breast fogging. In the Russian manner not all men carry a lance . only the first line in attack formation. Twelve lancers in a Platoon of thirty six

Linasi ,go to my post of May 25 in the Spain section answering to someone asking about Spanish pilot wings

Superb pieces !

I will try to find something

The peakless cap was of regulation for Cavalry , mounted Artilley ,Remount, and Train . but during the War many others used to wear the peakless cap . usually Officers.

Many Thanks Sandro ! kind regards .

To me they are of WW2 era , I observed in Shoulder Boards of these period similar stars , rather stumpy . in contrast with the later models with rays more stilized

One must remember that the Feldbinde was not a ornamental piece of uniform . It must support the pistol holster with the pistol and the field glasses .

Pralea , The man in the first photo is apparently a cavalryman . he wears the field cap without peak and the Pelzulanka . which replaced the Pelisses of Dragoons and Uhlans in 1916. it was Field Grey in colour without coloured cuffs , the fur of the collar must had been black but in the practice it varied much . the man on the photo carries Cavalry sabre with a antiquated portepee NCO type . he wears ankle boots and putees but no spurs and these fact is strange. notably his Pelzulanka appears deprived of the yellow and black cords used to close the fur collar . the other man to my judge is not Austrian , Romanian or inclusive Serbian .perhaps . regarding the colour of the early war Cavalry pelisses fur . by 1914 it was black for all . Hussars weared until 1909 white fur ,but at the beggining of the war black was uniform

Yes , number 3 on collar and anchor on the headdress , its not much margin .

Pralea , Yes ,if you observes closely the rank stars on the collar patch you will find this stars different of the stars of the Oberleutnant in the first pic. because they are Rosettes , the type of stars used by Officials , beamten , Civilians with Officer consideration .

I suggests that

Hello Pralea , the man portrayed in the photo is a Officer of the Austro Hungarian Army ,a Oberleutnant . he wears the Field Grey uniform introduced in late 1915 . the colour of the collar patches is impossible to determine but the cut of the jacket suggests Infantry . The Austrian Army comprised three entities . The Common Army , The Hungarian Honved and the Austrian Landwehr . the Hungarian Honved used slate grey colour collar patches .perhaps your man belonged to some Regiment of the Honved

Adler 1 If iam not wrong you have a Saxon uniform in your woderful collection . I saw a Saxon hussar uniform .

The Prussian ,the new helmet was adopted in 1931 but earlier it was used ,exists a Photo of the surrender of Abd El Krim ,in the pic you can see two French soldiers with the new helmet . the surrender took place in 1926 . probably officers were allowed to buy a modern helmet before 1931 . the 1886 helmet looks too archaic

The photo is of post WW1 era . the man marked with X wears the new model of tropical helmet .the others the old one .and the officer or Adjutant between two horses wears the Sam Browne belt and bandolier introduced in the French Army during WW1. In the year 1925 the 3rd RIC was deplaced to Morocco to fight against Abd El Krim , then returned to Rochefort

Hello ,they could be of the Colonial Infantry , The white Colonials ,sic surnamed in France until today Marsouins . that is Porpoises . their emblem is the anchor and they were and are elite soldiers .curiously Marine Infantry but belonging to the Army . the French Navy have her Fusiliers Marins .

It was roughly the equivalent of the German Landwehr Cross . For Christians ,the Muslims or Jews used a plate

Hello, they dont carry the Red star on the Oval cockade , in its place is a plain 5 pointed gold star . on the aircrafts is painted a 5 points star but in the national colours of white red and blue .
