Chris Boonzaier Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 This looks to be a crown "L" and bomb underneath? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Hi Chris! Yes, it is a bomb underneath an L. FAR 29 (Württemberg). The L stands for Prinzregent Luitpold v. Bayern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishGunner Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 This looks to be a crown "L" and bomb underneath? There are a couple Feld-Artillerie Regiments with a Crown, cypher, and bomb underneath... But none that I can find with the L as the cypher... We'll have to wait for Chip...

The Prussian Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Nice card... I like the bavarian humour... But I am prussian by administration. In native cases I´m from the Rheinprovinz (the area around the river rhine, where the the carnival is very populair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Here are a few more examples from the FAR.29, including one M07 private purchase piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Here is a better look at the M15 IR.104 strap. The cypher is fashioned by two different methods, the more common being the cord "FA". The chainstitched M15 version is rarely encounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxcob Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 ...I think the "L" actually stands for king Ludwig III. who took over in 1913. Here is an example for a Colonel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the bavarian ministry of finances might be glad, both were named with an "L"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saxcob Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) I am afraid there was no real chance to save money. The unit just had "29" in the place of the "L" before 1913 (example for a captain/Rittmeister attached). Since Luitpold was just a prince regent (for both the mad kings Ludwig and Otto) his "L" would not have been entitled to wear the royal crown...
