Chip Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Chris,These straps are not from the Grenadier Regiment Nr.110. They are from the Saxon Grenadier Rgt. Nr.101. Here is the difference....the Baden regiment had a die-cut cypher. Saxon regiments always had a cypher fashioned from Schnurr on their M15 straps. The Saxon crown was distinctive. The Baden crown was die-cut, of a different style and without any cord. I've attached a picture of three Saxon enlisted M15 straps so you can see what I mean. Saxon shoulder straps for the field uniform were not square topped after 1907.Chip Edited July 14, 2007 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) Mike,Both the 101. and the 110. have a Roman numeral "I" underneath the cypher. Take a look at this period regimental postcard from the 101st.Chip Edited July 15, 2007 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dwyer Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Mike,Where do you see a "II"? Both the 101. and the 110. have a Roman numeral "I" underneath the cypher. Take a look at this period regimental postcard from the 101st.ChipChip,You are, of course, correct and I'm a blind idiot who thought it was a II, but that's actually that little center seam on the I. Since the photo was a little fuzzy I thought I just couldn't see the space in the II clearly, but after looking at it again it's a seam, not a space, so it's actually a I. I've deleted my original post. Both regiments were dedicated to the first Kaiser, Wilhelm I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Mike,On these cord numbers.....you can usually tell what they are by looking at the cord that the cypher is made from. If it is the same width, you have a "I". Cord is only used by certain regiments and a "II" is normally made from two strips of the cypher cord with the addition of a smaller thread/cord across the top and bottom.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
