landsknechte Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Only if it has to do with velcro restraints, gasmasks, riding boots and leather whips......In that case, I think the word you're looking for is "projection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Arne S Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Hi Robin !Great Collection of Sculls ! Jan Arne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Here's an odd skull.Not like the official pattern for guard pioneers.Apparently came from a German house clearance. (The attached shoulder straps may have come with it.)Anyone any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Here's the back.The method of construction, with hand stitching, seems very similar to the official Guard Pioneer badges.The straps relate to the Wuerttemberg Army Corps, whose state colours were of course black and red.The black and red on the skull may be coincidental.Minenwerfer (other than Heuschkel post-1918) didn't wear skulls, so far as I know.I'm stumped.

Naxos Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Robin, the straps are for an Offizierstellvertreter belonging to the Minenwerfer Bataillon XIII. Edited May 17, 2009 by Naxos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 Robin, the straps are for an Offizierstellvertreter belonging to the Minenwerfer Bataillon XIIIThanks. They were listed as 'Minenwerfer Abteilung des XIII. Armeekorps' (???)I'm not really that acqainted with Imperial army formations.It's really the TK I'm interested in. It's an oddity.
