The Prussian Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Schrippen is Berlin dialect. Here it's called Brötchen. I'll have a Wurst for lunch today. ..☺ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fritz die Spinne Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Because of the design I am very happy to add the 22. Schützen Div. tinnie, which has a Bavarian button as a shield for a medieval warrior. The unit fought as part of the German 14th Army, which was in Italy from inception to the end of the war. The Austrian I. Korps and Bavarian III Korps were part of the 14. Armee, so I would venture the 22. Schützen Div. was influenced by Bavarians in the sector. My question; is it likely this was worn by Bavarian/German troops? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Army_(German_Empire)?wprov=sfla1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hello Fritz! I don´t think so. The austrians were under german command, but no gferman unit was under austrian command. So the would be no reason for them to wear a divisional badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Danke. Still interesting to see the Bavarian influence on their device. That works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted October 17, 2017 Author Share Posted October 17, 2017 Are there any influences? Note that none of the austrian or german badges were allowed to wear by the german Emperor! The only allowed badges were the Edelweiß and the Carpathian Corps badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Just picked up this photo. Stamped on back "Sturmabteilung Bayr 8. Res. Division" 1917. XXI Korps, Erzherzog Carl and kb RID Verbandsabzeichen appear to be worn willy nilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chris! I proudly own one, but yes, photographic evidence is tough as well. Andy, I think it is just the turn of the badge as pinned.

The Prussian Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Hello Fritz! Please check the sizes of the two badges. 8th RD was smaller than Carl. Herre 8thRD seems to be larger... I don´t think it´s 8thRD Edited October 27, 2017 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I can see it and it looks like the 8th Reserve Division insignia to me. It makes sense with the other pins in the photo. What else would it be? Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Hello Chip! Well, you might be right. If I compare it with the collar badge in the back ground. Maybe it´s been worn at the collar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I think it just appears a little larger because of placement on the cap curving around the head. The shape is right, even looking at the other men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 Well, that coluld be. An optical illusion. Here another nice example with 21.Korps, b.10.Inf.Div., Böhm-Ermolli, Erzherzog Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 That is flippin' awesome, Andy! First time I have seen the 10.ID Verbandsabzeichen in a photo. Not to mention the style the soldier exhibits wearing them as he does, and overall look of the photo. Exceptional find! What regiment does he have on his Schulterklappen?

The Prussian Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Sorry, I can´t recognoize them. Because of the cuffs it´s probably Fieldartillery. According to the tinnies maybe bavarian 19 or 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz die Spinne Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Greetings Everyone, This grouping including German uniform buttons just sold on eBay. Since several of the Kappenabzeichen shown are identified as being worn by Germans (check marked), what is the likelihood of some of the others also being worn? Andy, I expect you may have some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
