Guest Rick Research Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I've never seen a horse as prominently "serial numbered" as that.
Chip Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Hardy, Very nice photo, but are you sure he is a dragoon? The rounded front visor, artillery style saber and the antique carbine make me think he might be from a reserve FAR. Chip

Chip I'm not sure Chip, and what appears to be a rounded visor gave me pause as well but because of the spike I did not think of RFAR. Hardy
Chip Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I forget when the Bavarian FARs switched from spikes to ball tops. Chip
Naxos Posted October 10, 2009 Author Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) I forget when the Bavarian FARs switched from spikes to ball tops. Chip Good point (no pun intended) ... there is some writting on the back perhaps I can get more from it - It is dated June 1915 Edited October 10, 2009 by Naxos

Chip Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Oh, another thing. Dragoons had standing collars, not the Klappkragen. Chip
