Hello to all , The style of the cap is clearly British . but the badge is not military . The frogged coat not was current among Firefighters . perhaps the badge is the badge of a City .and the man was a CIty official ,

Andres T, Exactly

pjac You have realized what I wanted to said . surely with intention of raise the price

Hello, button colour . that is silver

Utgardloki , very interesting the uniforms of Huis Doorn , specially the three Spanish . the full dres of Capitan General , the service one of the same rank and the light blue of Colonel of the Dragones de Santiago. The uniform of 1st Grenadiers simply amazing

ccj ,The book covers only until 1914 ,the Generals uniforms ,the Staff officers ones and those of the War Ministery officers. the Kunftige Friedensuniform was reglamented in 1915

Utgardloki , For Hofball or other similar events was reglamented In 1915 a Salonhose , that is long trousers in dark grey almost black colour with large facing colour stripes on the sides of the leg . the ones for mounted jaegers with stripes of the tipycal JzP model . In the collection of Huis Doorn the last residence of William II existed many uniforms of the Kunftige friedensuniform that belonged to the Kaiser and he weared during his exile

A Prussian Infantry pickelhaube for ORs .the scroll reads As prize to the ......Company Royal Swedish Leibregimemt Queen .under the scroll ,the Landwehr Cross normally carried over the chest of the eagle by Reserve units. But... some details dont fits well .

Hello, Some tips about Kunftige Friedensuniform , literally the Future Peace Uniform , first .the colour was field grey for nearly all branches ,excepting ,jaegers and Mounted Jaegers, second,collar and cuffs were in the facing colour of the old uniforms and the cuffs were in the diverse types .swedish ,polish, brandeburgers, french , the Litzen returned to their pre war size, the shoulder straps were again fully coloured . third ,all the buttons were plain and bright in silver or gold colour. fourth ,the peaked caps were of stiffened type and with a visor of field grey coloured fibre. that of the Cavalry returned to the peacetime model ,dark blue ,light blue ,white, or grey green with the band and piping in facing colour but with field grey visor . fifth the pickelhauben were practically the peacetime ones ,with gold or silver plated badges , the epaulettes were not used more and the shoulder boards of oficers were of the old type with silver soutache or golden bouillon .the officers litzen ,returned to their peacetime size.

Peter, perhaps i am wrong but i believe that the skull and bones as symbol of the Death is closely related with the Christianismus .

This is a Montenegrin General uniform . very russian style .but note the badge on the peaked cap that was characteristic .the uniform is the M 1910 service uniform for Generals and Officers . he wears also laced ankle boots with leggings common practice in the major part of the Armies but very rare in the Russian Army

Hello ,Between 1911 and 1913 Wurttembergian Officers and Troops were assignated to serve into Prussian Aerostatic and Aeronautical units .

Hello, clearly NO ! the Chilean Army for example used and use the Skull and bones as emblem of one of their Cavalry units named also Death Hussars No 3 and dating back to 1818. The 17/21st Lancers of the British Army uses the Skull and bones over a scroll that reads OR GLORY as badge. The French Revolutionary Army created in 1792 a Cavalry Regiment named Hussards de la Mort , Death Hussars , with a black uniform almost identical to that of the Prussian Hussars. During the Spanish Civil War in the Francoist Army was created a Shock Company within the Guardia Civil ,the militarized Police force . the creator Captain Roger Oliete named the Coy La Calavera ,that is the Skull . the near 200 members weared a patch on the arm or the breast with the skull and bones and the letters G and C entwined . the Guardia Civil was and is a rather conservative Institute.

As Waldemar Becker in the fi,wikipedia ,org .

Hello , Nice photos .thanks for share . Interestingly the two Bavarian gentlemen portrayed are high rank officials of the Royal Bavarian Railways .perhaps due to the relationship between the two Royal Houses in some moment Bavaria and Belgium interactuated in Railways matter

Silver bracelets with the ID tag were at least tolerated in the French Army .

Hello , the last ribbon could be that of the Italian Order of the Crown . it was awarded to foreigners too . regarding to the owner of the tunic is reasonable to think in a Major General destinated in the British component of the Italian Expeditionary Force sent to Italy after the Defeat of Caporetto. five British Divisions at the peak

In the book of General Thoumin The Great War volume 1 a French Infantry Officer relates that before the depart to the frontier he was worried about two things: one he has not received his ID tag the other, his sabre was not sharpened. he asked to his battallion chief about the ID and he received the following answer : Its right, we must have all of us the ID tags ,they are ready but for some reason they were not distributed yet. the next day they were distributed.

Great pictures , thanks for share!

Interestingly the British Officer is seated among Japanese soldiers ,

Utgardloki , I will search the video of Prince Louis Ferdinand .

He is grabbing the tip of the nose of Prince Louis Ferdinand ,his grandson

Hello , I can read on it ASTYNOMIA that is POLICE in Greek . the lower inscription Is POLEON that means CITIES .resuming Police of the Cities , one of the two Greek Police Forces that existed , the other was the Gendarmerie or CHOROFILAKI , Today the two Forces were merged . your badge carries a royal crown then is pre 1974

Hello, Its a common nut ,walnut .the hickory nuts have smooth surface . certainly looks as a mummified testicle .
