Chip Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Very nice Charles. An unusual rank to see. I like the odd combination of NCO and officer insignia. Is there a Namenetikett or maker's label?Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 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.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deruelle Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Beautiful uniform Charles. A pleasure for my eyes 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.RegardsChristophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccj Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 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 Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn J Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Charles, If it is for the Feldwebelleutnant, they did not wear the NCOs' and soldiers' variant. They generally wore a private purchase one or two pronged variety. Regards Glenn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccj Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 I can't find those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul R Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 What was a LT Feldwebel? Was he considered to be an officer or enlisted? Was this a way for NCOs to become officers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I can't find those. I usually just take a French one.... have seen enough photos with those being worn, and they are cheap.... or just a simple one like this.... http://kaiserscross.com/286801/286822.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
