That the Prussian uniforms remained the same more or less from 1813 to 1848 and i  think also that the Prussian Army was notable for conservative use of resources ,then it could be a Landwehr button 

Perhaps is a military button of circa 1840 .

Hello tony ,the men with the MG are Bavarian Light Horsemen .

If you mean the last post, i think it's Feldmarschallleutnant Paul Edler von Nagy at the MMThO Promotion at Villa Wartholz 17th of August 1918. 

This is his entry in the 1918 Rangliste

 

Curious uniform that of von Nagy , first the narrow lace of his collar patch , second the badge between cockade and button on his cap or kepi, looks like a Bergfuhrer one

Hello Rollo, Which metal? Pewter, Bronze, Tombak .

You says Bronze but in the pic appears white 

Hello Sajkaca. So ? Are of the Tersky Cossacks ? 

The Prussian , The plate is from Enciclopedia Espasa Calpe. and the uniforms depicted are the ones of the regulations of 1904. these uniforms were changed between 1911 and 1913 to a Prussian style . the greatcoat for officers was modified in 1910 to a entirely Prussian model . Grey with blue collar piped in arm of service colour. Believe me the Japaner is a Argentinian

Isn˙t that Karl l ?

The most probable candidate but iam not certain

Late reward ? existed a rumour that Hitlers EK I was given to him by Luddendorff post war . Anyways it must be remembered that the Imperial Army although no more Imperial was not disbanded until January of 1919 and between March of 1919 and 1921 the Army was numerous about 400 000 men ,

What is this army, do you know? miner?

Yes ,they are miners , what is going on in the second pic is very odd . a clown holding a portrait of some high ranking person and a polish peasant dressed 19th century style. by the Austrian uniforms the pic is from 1917 or 1918

Hello , Perhaps ,Emperor Karl was prone to the bad habit sic of go too near to the front .

Hello , Surely General Kovess is looking some thing or person less  agreable

Hello , Its not only the cockade , on the band of the peaked cap the officer wears the four pointed star of the Argentinian Army General Staff .

Japanese Army never used cockades on capbands or kepis , used the five pointed star or the chrysantemum

Agreed! Great pictures thanks.

This mans trio caught my eye amongst all the bling...

Am I mistaken (often am) or is he, in fact, wearing two 1908 Jubilee medals?

One on the end on a civil ribbon and the one in the middle on a military ribbon?

Personally I’ve not seen that before....

tony

tony , a good amount of excellent photos they will take a lot of my time to comment about them .

Hello Rohleder .your great uncle in the pic uses the uniform of a vizefeldwebel of a Saxon regiment. lace and button on collar and one stripe of lace on the cuffs . plus the officers sword. the uniform is of the time of the Empire not republican .apart from that i dont see any chiffre on the sword grip 

Hello tony, the MG collar badge appeared in the year 1915. existed in two basic variants one with Austrian crown the other with St Stephen crown . apart of this they were white metal badges for NCOs and troopers and gold or silver ones for officers . the use of the tactical sign on the cap is not rare .the Austrians used such signs among others white patches of cloth on the back of the caps. The MG badges were carried on the collar or collar patch and of course in the field .

Hello ,Quite a superb group , congratulations

Hello tony, von Thronstal answered your question

Can someone please help with identification? Thanks. Iver

Cossack Podesaul ?

Hello, Yes , but at the beggining of the war the Bavarian Army , of three Corps ,a Reserve Corps and a Cavalry Division fought as a whole into the 6th Army . from the autumm of 1914 onwards this identity was slowly desintegrating. but never the Bavarian spirit of self determination decayed .
