I don’t get it... can’t find anything that rhymes...
anyway, it’s a very nice tunic but not sure about the price. But, enlisted and NCO tunics don’t come around often....

Well.... I shan’t finish the joke...
Anyway, IR112 was the best Regt between IR111 and 113

It doesn’t seem like 7 years. I too miss Rick and for me the hobby hasn’t been the same without him. and yes, I think about Rick often, especially when on forums or when I get a new ribbon bar or medal.

I’ve wanted one of these for years and either procrastinated or missed my opportunity. I could a descent one a couple years ago to display on a tunic but just got one I think rather nice with its case of issue. I’m happy with them even though the first one has lost gilt to the swords I wonder why that seems to happen to so many awards.
I think my focus may been more on the ek in the photo of the first Crown

Sperr appears to be a general staff officer.

It’s not my bar. As stated, it’s on a tunic listed on Weitze’s site and shown in Baldwin and Fisher’s book. I don’t like the bar and it’s always annoyed me to be honest. I wish it had been removed for the book and it needs to be tossed.
im not sure what to think of the tunic as it appears the shoulders once held sewn in boards but now sport boards that are sewn down. I’m not saying the tunic isn’t a real generals tunic but... I do like the collar tabs

I learned it yesterday and was shocked. Karel was very friendly and helpful to me. I didn’t know him other than as a fellow collector but based on all conversations he was a first class man.
It’s a tragic loss to his family and all of us collectors.

Nice shoulder boards. I think I like the subdued boards better than the earlier patterns.

Hi Chuck, I’m pretty sure the first ribbon is/was an EKII that the white stripes have worn off or become dark. I’ve seen the white stripes wear harder than the black. Ribbon guys may know why.

I think cuff rank was dropped by many after 1915, not sure when for certain.
