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.:

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

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."

Hello, I sugests a visit to www.bekleidungsamt 13.de . its the site of a German Manufacturer of very true replicas of German And Austro Hungarian Uniforms. he can answer in English
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.

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

One of my favorite topics, and I can't thank Andy enough for his research, sending me down the rabbit hole with this. I missed out on the 215th Infantry Division tinnie, but these two came from the same konvolut. Unfortunately my source link for LIR 15 seems a little defective, bringing me to that of the 13th. I can't seem to retrace the links to fix it.

If anyone ever wonders why more than one or two examples are welcome in a collection, you just need to see the wonderful variety like this.

I ended up stumbling into this one. The price was right so I grabbed it. I'm curious why makinson wood sign this particular award?

Love it! Have seen a few examples like that. Often the material looks like something that would be used to make a canvas beach chair. When this is fully packed, the bright colors should barely be visible.

Very nice. The Brotbeutel is marked B.D. III, which was the Bekleidungsdepot for the Bavarian III Armee Korps. Sunce most had Bekleidungsamt, this is unique just to one Bavarian supply chain. The 301 is a code for a Hersteller, but nobody has found the master list.

Hello Fritz , something wrong with Wurttemberg ?
Not at all. There is something wonderful everywhere in Germany. We've all gotta love the unique variations by anyone willing to veer off the usual path. Anything to keep us guessing, scratching our heads, and gathering to throw in our ideas.

Bavarian in Prussian uniform ?

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