    Hessen Feldwebel-Leutnant


    Recommended Posts

    Charles,

    Another question for you. Do both of the lions on the collar disks face the same direction? As I recall, the Hessians did not have a right and a left like the Bavarians.

    Charles:

    Very interesting rank and insignia on a very scarce tunic! Congratulations!

    Dave

    Thanks, I'm very please with the set. If I get better with the camera and image sizing I'll post more images of the tunic and trousers. I need a Hessen Infantry visor cap now... who has one to spare?

    Beautiful uniform Charles. A pleasure for my eyes :jumping::jumping:

    This uniform has a name or not. With historical regiment unit you can easily find the name of all the Feldwebel-Leutnant. A great research for you my friend.

    No name,

    I did see maker's label inside. I need to look at it again because I can't remember the name.

    Charles,

    Resizing pics is easy using the Picasa photoediting programme, http://picasa.google.com/ . Just select the pic you need to resize, and then select "File" and "Export to another file". A window will pop up that allows you to select the scale, and thus resize the picture. All my original pics are around 2.5 MB, rescaled to whatever size I need them in.

    Regards,

    Sandro

    An update to the Hessian Feldwebel-Lt of IR116. He is wearing an infantry visor cap for an Hessian officer and a Warrior Honor Decoration in Iron. I don't see anything in the in my search indicating a man could not receive this decoration before the EKI.

    Besides, I'm low on EKIs :rolleyes:

    Charles,

    Lovely setup but the Feldwebelleutnant was not authorized to wear the commissioned officers' Feldbinde or Feldkoppel. The regulations stipulated a "simple" leather belt for the purpose of carrying a pistol etc.

    Regards
