ccj Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Okay guys, what pattern is this officer's shoulder board?1910 or 1915 Friedens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Charles,If it is a Train officer board, then it would be difficult to differentiate. The earlier Train underlay was a pale blue. This appears more like the darker Kaliblau, which was used later. So I would vote for the it being a Friedensrock piece.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Charles,There is a color chart of sorts in von d. Osten-Sachen u.v.Rhein's "Deutschlands Armee in feldgrauer Kriegs- und Frienden-Unifom".Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dwyer Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 There is also a very good pictoral chart of headgear with the various colors on Kaiser's Bunker at http://www.kaisersbunker.com/ht/farben/farben1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Nope, that's Kornblumenblau. Kaliblau is Prussian blue.ChipDisagree. Kaliblau in German is Potash-blue. Even on the headgear page linked above, he refers to Kaliblau as Potash-blue for the after 1915 train troops.

Chip Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 I agree that Kaliblau is "Potash-blue", but the normal English equivalent is Prussian blue. If you look it up in a German/English dictionary it is translated as Prussian blue. You won't find Potash-Blue in a standard English dictionary, but you will find Prussian blue. So we are both right!

ccj Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Update... after research it appears these are the correct boards for a Friedensrock. The insignia has been removed and it appears to have had numbers and pips. I think one pip for Olt. I cant tell if if was a single or double number.
