That´s the so-called "Bayernborte = bavarian braid). I also can read 1.M.G.K. on the shield and a shoulder strap seems to be a 7. So we have: 1st MG-comp. of the bavarian a) Inf,Rgt.7 b) Res.Rgt.7 c) Ldw.Rgt.7 Edited November 19, 2016 by The Prussian
Chip Posted November 25, 2016 Posted November 25, 2016 I agree with Andy. It is nothing official. It's not a farrier's patch (horse shoe) or a Richtkanonier patch (bursting bomb). Chip
MG1918 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Posted July 14, 2017 Moderator is looking at how to remove all these Photobucket 'entries'. Once cleaned I will get back to re-energising MG08 & MG08/15 complimenting 'grips of death'. Mark
MG1918 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Posted January 7, 2018 Nice 'spiked' helmet gun team. Sorry for absence but now time to re-inject some life into this thread to compliment 'Grips of Death'. Happy New Year.

The spiked helmets look infantry but the tunics look like JzP. very interesting photo
MG1918 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Posted January 9, 2018 Sorry CCJ, I am unaware of the unit type, but I know you will enjoy this one.
Chip Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 The tunics in post #32 look like those of one of the Maschinengewehr Abteilung.
ccj Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Hey Chip, doesn’t it appear the cuffs and collars are darker green with the trim seen on JzP troop uniforms?
Bayern Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Hello ; The prussian regiments of JzP number 8 to 13 dont weared Kurassier helms except the officers . they used Dragoner helms and Dragoner boots. So the machine gunners portrayed must be JzP.
Chip Posted January 18, 2018 Posted January 18, 2018 I was thrown off by the helmets, so thanks Bayern for the information. Chip

MG1918 Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 Insignia not visible to me as I am not a uniform expert.

Its possible ,judging by the officer who appears on the right of the photo ,on his collar is clearly visible the bavarian borte .apart his portepee or swordknot is the oval shaped bavarian model .
Bayern Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 The six men with a MG wears a lower cockade on their cap bands which appears to be bavarian of one of the models in use ,that is white with a light blue center . but they not wear the bavarian collar borte .
MG1918 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) Great firing position. Edited February 17, 2018 by MG1918 MG08
