I dont understand the contempt about German Daggers .expresed

Hello Gentlemen : take a look to site German Daggers com , into it to the Forum and iside this to Imperial combat badges . 

Hello : In the book Army uniforms of World War 1 , John Mollo , Blandford Press . is showed a coloured photo of Harry Cator .

The 8 th landwehr infantry regiment was garnisoned in Prague . In 1917 was renamed  SchutzenRegiment. Number 8 .

Fritzel : The Imperial German Navy counted with two types of Land Force , one the Seebataillone , the other the MatrosenRegiment . the first were like the Marines , the other were sailors with infantry training and  equipment . Take alook to the site www. germancolonial uniforms co uk 

Farkas : The people that i mentioned was born during the Empire and emigrated after the fall of the Monarchy . Personally I am Argentinian born of a german born father , bavarian and a argentinian mother of spanish remote ancestry .

The Imperial and Royal 2nd hungarian Infantry Regiment weared Kaisergelb collar and cuffs and gold buttons . the colour was a deep yellow . The Imperial Royal Landwehr used for all their Infantry Regiments Grass green collar and cuffs . The Royal hungarian Honved Infantry used no distinctive collar and cuff colour , with the field uniform pike grey , the collar patches were dark blue grey , The Landwehr was recruited into the Austrian part and this included Bohemia moravia . and Prague . 

Thanks , I suspected that from the beginning . jokes apart , I knew here in Argentina , years ago ,Hungarians Croatians , Slovenians , Poles some czechs inclusive that feeled themselves as Austrians , 

Hello : In the group photo he bears the rank of fahnrich or before 1908 cadet deputy officer , in the studio photo h bears the rank of feldwebel , 3 celluloid stars and the yellow silk borte , i think that the white line is to the purpose of delineate neatly the golden yellow borte over the orange yellow patch . The regiments with pike grey patches used the patch with a thin white piping . 

The Prussian : The austro hungarian Fahnrich was  classed between the oficers , so weared officers kepi and cockade , and was admitted in the officers mess . 

If it is gold with light blue stripes is of a beamte

Nice pictures! The third gentleman is probably the member of the Habsburg family. The last picture is a Royal Hungarian Army Lt. Col between 1929-1940.

The gentleman with the Golden Fleece and Leutnant rank must be a Habsburg 

Farkas : Are you of hungarian ancestry ?

Hello : Argentinian is not , yes we have the faced sun as emblem of the land Army but we never used the mural crown that topped the sun . the 2nd Spanish Republica replaced the royal crown with a mural one very similar to the crown of the medal .Its a curious thing The Cuerpo de Intendencia ( Supply Corps ) of the Spanish Army has as Badge a sun topped with a crown and circled with a double wreath of laurel . but the sun is faceless .

¿ The metalic lace is silver , or was gold ? 

Hello Farkas : If the trousers are black in colour and the strip about one and half inch wide , the most probable origin is british . for example , Foot Guards , for officers .

Farkas The generals trousers were characterized by a double strip of red cloth . each strip of 35 mm width and a central piping of 2mm . your trousers have a single strip . 

Hello : The man with uniform is a Deckoffizier , 

Hello : I think that the value of the uniform is much more than the value of a post 1943 uniform . a steel grey tanker uniform with the old rank badges , is relatively scarse .

Hello : They are spanish , collar pieces , the open crown was used between 1939 and 1975 , the second type of crown was implemented with the arrival of king Juan Carlos to the throne . the cap badge of the Spanish Navy also changed the crown type in 1975 . The crowned eagle with the sword of the apostol Santiago on the chest was and is the coat of arms of the Spanish Army ,cap badge , and in this case collar badge 

Hello : I agree with The Prussian , but i wish to add that in certain aception strich means also to erase something suddenly .in spanish : borrar de un plumazo . Of course Dauer Feuer is the most common definition of sustained MG fire . Franz Seldte the leader of the Stahlhelm wrote two books about german MGs in ww1 one with the title MGK the other Dauer Feuer . in these last mentions fessende uberhohende or flankierende machine gun fire as options but not strich .

Hello Grey : The most suitable is , to me , the third . once i read in a french publication Militaria Magazine, in an article about the Tiralleurs that was common in North African cities the atelier photographique whose owner composed for the enlisted men eagers of a special thing , uniforms of phantasy , with non regulated items , or additionals as fourrageres , decorations ,sabres etc . 

Nice photo , Its of before 1890 , the soldier poses with a Gras rifle , 1874 1886 into service . apart the small kepi , the heavy equipment . nice and non common .

Its very sad , King Ferdinand was present at Kaiser Franz Joseph funeral dressed in the uniform auctioned . in the same dress assisted to the coronation of emperor Karl as King of Hungary . The uniform is charged with History and in last instance belongs to Bulgaria .too .

Hello : To me they are members of the Red Cross . the bearded man wo rests his right elbow on the table appears to have officer shoulder boards and neatly a officers type belt and clasp . the other man appears to wear unterarzt shoulder boards . similar to the SB s used by offizierstellvertrer with a aesculapius staff on the middle . The man at the right of the civilian wears too officer SBs and belt .
