Mike Dunn Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Well, have not been able to ID this Epaulet. Picked this pair up in Germany last summer and I still have no clue what they are for. Any help would be greatly welcomed! Mike
Guest Rick Research Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I'd say you've got a Kingdom of Hannover cow inspector there. Don't laugh.In doing Lippe's award rolls, there were officials at the state scientific dairy herd establishments-- this sort of thing would have been VITAL in agricultural economies.And, of course, you know they're pre-1867.
Mike Dwyer Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I'd say you've got a Kingdom of Hannover cow inspector there.Yeah, I'd already identified it as Hannover when it was posted on WAF. At first I thought it might be because of the shape of the crown (Hannover used a different looking crown than the other German kingdoms) but I wasn't positive; once he posted the close-up of the button that removed all doubt!
Mike Dunn Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 Thanks to all for solving the mystrey! Mike
