Rittmeister Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 Can anybody identify which state this soldier belongs to? Those two uniforms behind him seem Feldgrau to me, so he must be wearing the coloured uniform of before 1914?
joerookery Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hi, I cannot tell you which state he is from, but I would not get too excited about the blue uniform. most of those kinds of pictures were taken in the depot system.
bob lembke Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 The state cockade seems fairly light in overall color, so perhaps they are Bavarian. A view of the other caps would be helpful, to see if they are also generally lighter in color than the Prussian cockades. Not being too sharp, the several colors blend together to an overall tone.Bob Lembke

You raised an interesting point with the colour of the Kokarde, I tried scanning another cap just to see if you can make out anything that would narrow it down to Bavaria. I also uploaded a second picture of a cap because I'm fairly certain that one does show a Bavarian cap. What do you think?

But what were the colors and overall tone of the other kingly states? And were there sny other Kokardes?Bob Edited January 25, 2009 by bob lembke
