Yes, he's an interesting historical person. That's why I want to replicate his medal and ribbon bars and perhaps his dress uniform.

My best wishes of success to you !

King Ludwig III of Bayern was a true soldier , he was wounded in a leg while serving in the Royal Bavarian Army during 1866 war against the Prussians and allied with Austria Hungary . the bullet was not removed and the future King carried until his death a certain slight limp . you can see this in the films portraying the King and you can observe that he normally wear long trousers and not Breeches and riding boots . He was Much Loved in Bavaria and I wish to remember that Bavaria was a Federate Kingdom into the Empire with his own Army and War Minister, his own Railways and his own Post and Prussian postal stamps were not current in Bavaria . Army Officers Lists run separate the same was valid for Numbering the Army Regiments . to end, Ludwig III dont fled 

Sehr Interesant !

Just when you least expect it someone reaches out from another country to make your day.  Ralph765 contacted me and provided a scanned photograph of his great Uncle Franz Geßlein.  The photograph was taken in 1908.

He wears the Sash as they used to wear the Regimental Adjutants

Hello Juju!

Well, the Ersatz-Abteilung/Geb.Art.Abt. 5/6 was one unit.

Formed in Waldkirch/Breisgau (Baden) Feb., 28, 1917.

So the guys might wear the prussian artillery-sabre.

Because he wrote "14/15/16/17", the photo might had been taken in 1917. That fits to the set-up of the unit.

 

The Artillery sabre and riding boots of the model reglamented in 1915 for all Mounted Units 

Italian NO , Italian cockade was and is red white green . the bronze star is too large also

On a more sunny note - think of all the new medals that will appear with King Charles III effigy !!!!!

And all the badges to be changed , all those with Her Majesty Cipher 

RIP Her Majesty after 70 years of dedicated service to Great Britain and the Commonwealth 

Normally were made in Kriegsmetall

Graf Max Montgelas was also a Historian 

Matthew , Lebensborn ,Why not ? I remember that SS men publishes Birth notes with the rune on the badge instead of the more usual star 

Perhaps a intended badge for members of the Ahnenerbe ?

Excuse me if i expressed bad , I only intend to add details , Servitore !

Hello Grey C , Is not officer because officers wear sash and bandolier in silver thread with in the case of Prussia ,two black stripes . 

Kind greetings !

Shoulder board for a Signals Musikmeister (Band Leader, Leutnant equivalent). The device is of the non-military/SA type rather than the later military style. This pattern of board was used from 1935 to 1938.

This type of shoulder board was in use before and during WW1 

Kanonier , Prussian Field Artillery

FALvon Kyffhausen , Yes he carries a bayonet knot but its not a Officiers Portepee . Rank and file all carry Bavonet knots or Sabre faustriemen if Mounted troop . The officiers Portepee was in silver thread and closed that is without fringes 

Hello  Infantry NCO wearing M1915 Feldbluse with long trousers and laced shoes on the chest the EKII . the rank on the collar , lace over the front and the lower part of the collar and barely visible on the collar at shoulder line a oxidized metal button . both things says that he was a Sergeant . the same insignia weared de Vizefeldwebel but he carries also a  officer sword and swordknot 

Non magnetic EK1 ?

I agree with bolewt58 but for a while i think in the Czarist Russia version that according with some versions subsisted in late 19th and early 20 th centuries 

Servitore !

The Infantryman photo was from a Strassburg photographer . Ithat is Alsace and the XV Army Corps

Looks like a headress badge of Infantry WW1 period . in Italian a Fregio de Fanteria per capello , crossed rifles topped by a Crown in the centre circle must be a Number but i see some sort of Initials . the colour of the centre circle , orange says Brigata Livorno that is Infantry Regiments Number 33 and 34 but it was not common that the centre circle was in the colour of the Brigade . perhaps someone could say more 

Tupper,  I will try to find something. His German name serves as guide
