Bayern

Hello Farkas,  I think Its possible . the 48 98 medal was a simple design like a coin and with a red ribbon .

Hello again Farkas , The tall kepi of the man is a pre ww1 model . concerning to the medals I believe that the one next to the button is a Signum laudis with red peacetime ribbon and the third medal that of Franz Joseph conmemoration 1848 1908 .

Hello ,Farkas the last photo shows a Rittmeister of Dragoons , three stars on the collar, left shoulder cords ,and plain buttons. light blue tunic with regimental colour collar and cuffs , black salonhose, instead of the madder red breeches.

Hello , Very interesting , of mention ,the fact of the separate status of the Royal Bavarian Army . The Pour le Merite is a foreign Orden

Hello , I am in accord with Christian , Heimwehr ,

Hello , Just now I read your post . The theme is highly sensible . but the facts were the facts . First ,existed among the popoulation of Poland a good number of ethnic Germans . Second The Polish Army was the de facto ruler of the Country and their commands were if not pro germans at least rightists and not leftists . Third ,the Antisemitism was current in Poland and the Anticomunism . The Poles were confronted to the eternal dilemma ,Prussia or Russia , Marshall Pilsudski and colonel Beck the foreign minister searched an aproach with the nazi Germany and signed a Treaty in 1934 . Poland take her piece of the desmembration of Czechoslovakia in 1938 and only the soft attitude of Great Britain and France in front of Hitler prevented a more thig colaboration between Poland and Germany.

Hello , My pleasure . Interesting photo of the group of Artillerymen .

Hello:

  Wonderful!   Great topic and coverage.

  I know that Wasserschutz Polize/Kustenpolizei Uniform information is "Scare-as-hens-teeth" also the Photographic evedenmce is scarce; However I do have a few photos that I will endeavor to find and post (in a few days) for all to review.

  Non K.M. early navy replaceemts and substitutes is one of my favorites to go for in collecting.  I have a few unusual Items and uniform parts and I will add them in  few days as a method and "Prime-for-the-Pump" of continuing and exploring the subject.     the enclosed caps are off a few pf my moree uncommon caps.....I do not have a W.S.P. cap as yet.

  Thank you for your patience, in advance.

Best wishes, and great collecting.

Hello : The 7th Infantry Regiment of the Royal Italian Army was named Cuneo ,and his garrison city was Udine . the Regiment existed until 2001 . when was dissolved and their flag envoyed to the Vittoriale . but your Barberis is clearly not the abve mentioned who died heroically in Libia . If your ancestor was from SanGermano Vercellese was of thePiedmont .near Turin , 

Thanks again ! Its a strange feeling for me to see these pictures .

Freikorps ? hmm , perhaps but I think more on a member of the Security Police raised in Saxony at the beggining of 1919

Thanks for your answer and for share something so interesting as Tsingtao .
