The Prussian Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Have you ever seen a searchlight patch? Scheinwerfer-Zug 12 (SZ 12) of the saxon Pi.Btl.12
Chip Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Andreas, Yes! The one in your picture is unofficial. Here is an official pattern, known to have been worn by Saxon pioneers. Chip
The Prussian Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Hi Chip Ah, probably a saxon special! Do you have a photo too? What do you think of skype writing next weekend?
Chip Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Hi Chip Ah, probably a saxon special! Do you have a photo too? What do you think of skype writing next weekend? Andy, I do have a copy of a photo of this insignia being worn (an image not owned by me). Kraus says that it is known to have been worn by the Saxons, but he is unsure if any other contingents ever used it. My example is a Probe piece, so I assume that it was originally intended for use by units from any state. I do suppose, however, that the Saxons had some Probe pieces that were particular to them, due to their distinctive uniform differences (that is, Saxon cuffs, Kokarden, belt buckles, Helm-Wappen, usw.). I can Skype on Saturday or Sunday. PM me with times you would be available.
Chip Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Here is the period photo. It belongs to Carsten (Holsteiner) from the Feldgrau Forum. Chip
The Prussian Posted October 18, 2013 Author Posted October 18, 2013 Ah, yes, I remember! You told me, you wrote Mr. Kraus to turn the sigh in his book... In the book, it looks like an old photo-camera... I´ll be on sky the entire weekend. Call me, when you have time
