The Prussian

Garnisons-Bataillon I.1 Rosenheim:

That´s why I don´t use the word "Kappenabzeichen (cap badge)". I prefer "Verbandsabzeichen (formation badge)"

No idea. The second name seems to be "Schultheiß"

Opps, I´m sorry. You´re right!!!! But it was very late...(1933-1935)

again and again gladly!

Hello Peter! Not curious. It´s a marksmanship badge for artillery: http://www.austro-hungarian-army.co.uk/badges/qualbadges.htm

Hello! No, these plates with the "Town-letters" came up in 1957.

Hello! Interesting news! Unfortunately I can´t get a better scan of the eagle

Yes, I think, the boots are interesting. They seem to be a private purchase. Pretty good quality!

Hi Ian! Yes, that was my first thought too. But a friend of mine say, he´d see a double-headed eagle

Hello! Some examples... Post-war with unknown MG-Ss badge. 4th bavarian Reichswehr Inf.Rgt.46 : Probably Inf.Rgt. I Insterburg: MG-Ss-Abt.2: MG-Ss-Abt.2: MG-Ss-Abt.11: unknown: MG-Ss-Trupp 197: Probably no Scharfschütze, but interesting...: unknown: unknown: saxon Waffenmeister-Gehilfe (Armourer Assistant), note the crossed rifles: Freikorps Pfeffer: A zoom of photo 1. I can read "Sch"

Hello Ian! Thanks a lot! I´m not sure, the cockade seems too big for a german one. But generally I agree with you

Hello! Is someone able to ID this uniform? I haven´t seen such an uniform before. The armband seems to show a double-headed-eagle. So maybe Austria or Russia? The reverse is absolutly blank Thanks a lot! Now it´s shown twice... I think I clicked the wrong button...

Here´s another example. Bav. 16th. Inf.Rgt.

Hello ArHo! A rare photo!!!!! He wears the so-called "Friedensrock"! Grey tunic with red cuffs and collars and white shoulder straps! To me it´s Inf.Rgt.106 from Leipzig.

The casualty lists mentions him in bavarian 3rd Inf.Rgt. But I couldn´t find him in the regimental history. I also couldn´t find him in the Red Cross lists of POWs...

Was it him? http://des.genealogy.net/search/show/8240394

Hello! Yes, it´s a MG08/15. It´s probably an inofficial badge. I´ve seen it a few times before. A rare photo! Congrats!

With a little bit of phantasy Großpapa is really possible... It´s a shame, that the "young" germans like me (52) didn´t learn the old scripts in school...

Hello! Where are the p´s in papa? I can read Gruß?????, Are the more infos upon the reverse?

Hello! Heres is Korps Kühne, an overview of my collection and an article I wrote for the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Heereskunde Verbandsabzeichen.pdf

Of course, it is. Good painting! Never mind the few mistakes

?

This one??

Hello! To me it´s really a Festungsbau-Offizier: http://www.kammerbulle.de/html/namenszuge.html (scroll down to "Festungsbau-Offizier) The ribbon probably is red or green with dark stripes (maybe yellow stripes - they appear dark!) Maybe Friedrich-Kreuz für Kämpfer from Anhalt https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/friedrich-kreuz-anhalt-1914.html or Militär-Verdienst-Medaille Lippe-Detmold https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/militar-verdienstmedaille-mit-schwertern-1914-2-pragung.html Maybe he served in a bavarian unit and he was not bavarian born or bavarian citizen!
