A question ,The fourth cap looks as a cavalry one or mounted artillery . but the J1 on the patch puzzles me.Its not Dragoner Husaren or Ulanen . neither Reitende Feldartillerie. what means?

Certainly , the only users of ghotic S were the schools .and the jager green colour points to mountain troops .

Perhaps a Italian one ? The Farina breastplate ?

HIgh class pieces, Thanks for share.

Hello , Is a S or a 5 ? . 

My Pleasure

Jurgen Fritz , yes the Army weared a white creamy model ; but existed also a black one . 

Monte Santo : Thanks 

As I know this was a distinctive garment of the Police 

Jurgen Fritz , post please a pic of the marks that must exist on the blade .

skippy : The rank stars for NCOs from gefreiter to feldwebel into the Austro hungarian Armies were always white .independently of the button colour. they were made of bone or celluloid , the Officers rank stars were of different nature.

PS I wish you a better health.

Here is another priest with bravery decorations:

 

The Tunic is rare, litzen on the collar, bright plain buttons , brest pockets and what appears to be Saxon cuffs.

Admiral , Yes , von Lans is a more suitable candidate. 

Hello , The Admiral is probably , Paul Behncke. 1866 1937 , He was awarded with the Pour le Merite in October of 1917. 

Excuse me ,I forgot the rank held by the Prince , Its Lieutenant Ypolochagos in Greek

Hello : The Duke of Edimburgh and the Late King Alexander were First cousins. and Alexander was nephew of William II ,kaiser and king. The Prince wears the parade uniform of the Artillery.

Looks reasonable. It was not until 1942 that Transmissions was created into the Army of the Armistice .and adopted a different collar patch ,black but with two chevrons Skyblue in colour.

My Pleasure.

Hello Gentlemen ; The uniform  is Greek and the portrayed is Prince Alexander ,Later between 1917 and 1920 ,King Alexander I of Greece

The Prussian :  I discard Cuirassiers because there were no 18 th Regiment of Cuirassiers . 

Hello : The tunic is the one of a musician Feldwebel ; a German Regiment of the Common Army, Judging by the colour of lace and buttons ,that of the collar and cuffs , probably belonged to the famous Kuk Infanterie Regiment Hoch und Deutschmeister Number 4 . whose colour was Himmelblau , Skyblue.

Hello , Crossed Axes ,surmounted with a flaming grenade , appears to be Genio .Engineers of the Royal italian Army . and into the divisions of the branch ,sappers . the others were railways , telegraph and bridge layers . the number 1 inside the grenade may be the regimental .

Rohleder : Take a look to : Dienstgrade der Seestreitkrafte der DDR ,Parow und die Marine.

Hello friends!

Bayern: I´d say Engeneers. Black patch with red braids.

Trooper. A friend of mine told me, the symbol and the chevrons could have been scratched into the negative.

Or Cuirassiers ,dark blue patch with two red chevrons.

Thanks ! Peter . once upon a time a friend gifted me with a old publication of the USMC. in these I read about the Cavalry and , The Air Squad . and the Parades that carried in Shanghai .sadly I lend the magazine and vanished .
