Motorhead Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 The last pair...I've got no idea which regiment it could be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naxos Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 1) Kaiser Alexander Garde-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.1 2) Leib-Grenadier-Regiment Nr.8 3) Not sure about the Regiment, but the cypher appears to be "König Karl" Lets wait for Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I think the last pair are private purchase boards from the old blue/black overcoat. These boards were piped in the color of the tunic board. So this would be an example from the Grenadier Regiment König Karl (5.Württ.) Nr.123. Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorhead Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 From Tonys page-I expected red boards with a yellow cypher? Or are the board for the coat different in the color? It looks like that I must have the big Knötel now.... Micha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Micha, That would have been correct for the tunic, but that is not what you have. You won't see these old pattern overcoat boards in most references. There was an equivalent overcoat example for each tunic pattern strap, only with a blue/black body and piping in the color of the Waffenrock strap. Besides, you don't need any books, you have us!

Autsch......... Micha, That depends on what you want to accomplish. If you want everything, you have a long row to hoe. My suggestion would be to stick to tunic straps, as they are more representative of the normal soldier. When the blue/black overcoats were replaced with the gray patterns before the war, the overcoat straps became just like the tunic straps except for the backing material.
