Schießplatzmeister Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) more:-Kevin in Deva Hello Kev:This fellow seems to be wearing the ribbon for the Hohenzollern Principality House Order Merit Medal. He probably was awarded the Silver Class with Swords. There is no sword device on the ribbon, but since he was a combat soldier, it would have been an "overstatement" anyway.Can anyone make out what unit this is? Is it one of the Hohenzollern Regiments (such as the 40th)?Best regards,"SPM" Edited July 19, 2008 by Schie?platzmeister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 (edited) The Namenszug is that of the Kaiser Franz Garde Grenadier Regiment Nr.2. The shoulder strap in the photo appears to be a M07/15, the simplified pattern of the M07 that was ordered in January of 1915. It had no piping and the tongue (Lasche) was removed from the back. Here is a M15 example with the regiment's red piping and a narrower width than the previous patterns.Chip Edited July 19, 2008 by Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
