Fritz die Spinne

Someone sent me this found foto, wondering the very same thing--no doubt the Hoheits-Borte is added with the collar modification.

How "large" is it? Could well be a Sergeantenknopf, or for Gefreiter in the technical "nickel" colouring.

Context would help--what is the item, approximate age? The Bavarian cipher of Prinz Carl was changed to Prinz Karl in 1916, so any number of Anglicised spellings would date earlier.

This was an interesting blank I acquired. And for good measure, a nice Landwehr tag with some interesting history. KB LJR3, 6. Komp, #512 Vizefeldwebel Nagler Nagler later became Leutnant and then a pilot with two confirmed victories Martin Rupp supplied some info: 11.11.15 he became Leutnant, making this disc obsolete. Pilot by 12.4.16 at the latest. First air victory 20.8.17, second 23.8.17 wikipedia also has an Alfons Nagler, pilot with 10 victories but non of his dates match this one. :

Bayr. 10.JR photo (taken in Ingolstadt). Once again, the numbers wander all over the covers--one fellow's "10" is over his right eye heading for his right ear. Bayr 8JR Pickelhaube Bing Tornister kb 13JR

You're in the Imperial section. Delete and repost to a group that will be able to help. Good luck.

you are in the Imperial German (WW 1 era) forum.

All we know is a size 66, maybe a 68. Measurement around the liner pin holes will help. In that condition impossible to find maker mark and size, but I have also found helmets in much better shape that have markings difficult to read or stamped very faintly. Nice work making it displayable as "new."

Edeltraud must've been hitting the flask of Schnapps to keep up with the other ladies at the Bekleidungsamt.

Yes, Bernd can help you with getting it right. The button colour should be dependent on the colour called for by the regiment--Garde units would likely have silver, Infanterie, gold. Pionier, silver, usw. When people are looking for uniform assistance, I always like to know which regiment/unit is being depicted.

Fantastic. I have a few photos with the Wadenstrümpfe, so it is really cool to see a surviving pair.

A friend had me pick this up for him, so I scanned it for the group. JR124

I don't think I've seen the 8.RID anywhere but the collar and cap.

Yes, this one. Seems to be the one from your list that I am missing. LIR seems to have a very interesting history https://portal.dnb.de/bookviewer/view/1031485147#page/0/mode/2up
