Chris Boonzaier Posted October 21, 2012 Author Share Posted October 21, 2012 A fantastic shot of a Leib Regt guy with the Edelweiss on his Picklehaube cover! http://www.ebay.de/itm/221138573700?ssPageName=STRK:MEDWX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1435.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) It would be a lot more fantastic if you could see the Edelweiß better. I do like the strap on his simplified tunic, however. Chip Edited December 17, 2012 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I would do cartwheels for a matching set of those straps!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I once had a pair of M07s, unfortunately long gone. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I think I´m finished with collecting Edelweß. Last week I bought the ultimate one! That is originally that one, worn by the k.u.k. XIV.AK. Those Edelweiß were given to the Alpenkorps! The other is an austrian officer´s Edelweiß and my collection Edited January 2, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I did, matey,.. But it´s not big enough to recognize the badge ( 6 or 7 pollens) Edited January 3, 2013 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcin L Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Am I right that picture from post #126 shows Kgl. Bayer. Reserve-Feldartillerie-Regiment Nr. 8 ? Was it part of Alpenkorps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 No, it was not. I assume, he served with another unit in the AK, changed to the unit with the 8 and carried on wearing the EW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 According to the unit history, Garr was wounded on September 28, 1918 and died on October 17th. At the time the unit was experiencing the "Stellungskämpfe und Schlacht in der Champagne". Nice Sterbebild! I collect the ones from this regiment.

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hi Chip, Have you seen these? http://www.kaiserscross.com/69501/344943.html Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Chris, No, I had not seen those, but now I know who is outbidding me on 3.Jäger Rgt. Sterbebilder! I have one of these. The one to Leonhard Sinzinger, has the spelling corrected on the first name to Bernhard on subsequent cards. Evidently, the printer screwed up the name and had to fix some of the cards. Johann Echter died from his wounds on July 6th, 1916 (good catch on that one!). I didn't see any Hampps in the regimental history on those dates. I'm still working on a complete alphabetical listing for the entire regiment. The regimental history gives the deaths by date. So finding Konrad Fuchs without knowing the death date is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Perhaps the location (St.Marie a Py) might provide a clue as to the date?

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi Andy I cannot get the back, it has 2 thin flat pins which go through the hat and are neatly bent flat. it is not possible to see if these pins were pit on to replace a normal pin... the other one just to compare size....
