All right ccj, those was the photos and the asesor I ned

I will work in this theme and put results here to know what you think about, if you d'ont mind of course.

Thank you ccj.

You bet... a better photo of the major's tab. I think its easier to see the two stripes as opposed to the 3 on the general.

General

A general has 3 stipes in the pattern and a field officer only has 2.

You are good and with your talent should be able to show the difference in pattern between field officer and general insignia.

I see you have already done most ranks and posted the forum...

Major

Hello.

Do you think it would be a correct one?

THANKS

Nice graphic. YOu should do all Austrian ranks. You would be able to show the differenc in pattern between field officer and general insignia.

Underside. I'm not sure why there are hand stitches

This one looks 100% correct to me and it has a bit of a brownish hew.

Very nice photo.

I like the strap Chip.

Very nice!

I see many older, rare medals I'd like to have in my collection.

So, the Fahnrich tunic I posted is for infantry? Very nice but the tunic is not as minty as the photos depicts but still very nice.

Gordon,

Thanks for the information. It may be as Rick indicated, the owner wore it after the war with his service medals. Maybe he didn't make his promotionto Lt...

I don't know, I can't wrap my mind around the one year, cadet, reservist, etc, etc, and the time factor... :banger:

Medals not placed by me. I know these are not the correct choices. Color is more brown than gray.

Rich,

That's a very nice photo. Here's the best I can do on a tab shot from the photo I have presently.

Wouldn't a man be a "one man volunteer" or a cadet before becoming a F?hnrich? Is it possible a man who volunteered in 1914 could just be a F?hnrich in 1916 or 1917? Maybe even 1918 depending on the procession through the ranks to become an officer.

Yeah-- Charles-- that's no F?hnrich. Post scans of the tabs.

8 i think... 3 bravery, troop cross, wound medal, then I'm at a loss

Hello,

I won't forget to update about Brambilla's new edition. We've been discussing about it a few weeks ago and I'm happy about his decision to publish it also in English.

Enzo (Elmar Lang)

I'd very much like to have one of these books if available in English. I'm fond of Italian militaria from the WW1 era.

Is the soldier wearing a fez?

I almost bought a pair recently but since both were right sided or same sided I passed not knowing if they were a pair.

Notice on his left sleeve he has the blue embroidered initials B.F. either side of a mountain axe. He was a Bergf?hrer (Mountain Guide) as well as being a member of an assault party.

Regrads,

Ian

I didn't notice that detail. Do you know where I can find a photo or drawing of this insignia?

Does anyone know who this man was?

Austrian General's Pike grey tunic

Austrian Major of infantry

Does anyone on this forum collect Austrian uniforms and headgear from WW1?

I have great interest but haven't found many people who also share interest in uniforms of this period. If anyone has items please share images.

Here's one. Can you find information on this man?

Great awards!! I think thats the first screw back I've seen There's just something about these that interest me.

Eric

Here's how I display mine... :D

Here mine. I had the bio of the man but can't find it. Does anyone have a book listing the men who were awarded this medal?
