    According to Niemann they are post- (Nie 2.02.22 d), according to me they are pre-WW1. ;)

    I tend to think Pre WW1... lots of mention of Service... but none of war... Some kind of Regiments Feier thing...

    "Das Regiment wurde laut allerhöchstem Entschluss zum 16. Juli 1814 als "Grenadier-Garde-Regiment" aus den Grenadierkompanien der bayerischen Linieninfanterie-Regimenter gebildet."

    And I bet these were handed out on the 16th July 1914....

    :-)

    There are so many different regiments represented with these that I don't think they would have just been for jubilees. My guess would be more like an association badge or reunion badge.

    I'm with Chip in this point - and I do not think they were handed out. Rather soemthing you could buy if you were proud if your service and unit. They seem to exist to any pre-WW1 unit.

    But, try to find a specific one... :shame:

    Nice one Chris! :cheers:

    These crosses were privately bought by the soldiers, before WWI, I suppose when they went from active to reserve or were discharged, as souvenir, like the beer steins...

    Ciao,
