The Prussian Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hello!What about the unit?Black cap band, probably yellow collar Litzen = Garde-FeldartillerieCan you recognize the shoulder board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi,I will check when I get home... I think "23?" ... maybe Pionier?I did not know that the Kronenorden could be worn in the buttonhole! i learn every day ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) I don´t think so, Chris. Pi.Btl.23 was XX.AK, not Garde!I think the collar Litzen seem to be yellow. They are not so bright as the white in the cocades.The pipings of the shoulder boards seem to be red or blackI´m not sure of there is a second star for captain or if it is the grenade Edited September 5, 2015 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I must check later. If I remember correctly, the shoulder boards have 2 color layers, thats why I thought red over black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIR Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi,I’m not sure, but around 1917 all Pionier Officers wearing Litzen - or?!Best regards,Jens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) That´s right, Jens! I forgot that fact....Pionier-Offiziere didn´t wear Litzen at the 07/10 (only Garde-Pioniere did).The Bluse 15 had Litzen for all engeneer-officers. A lot of photos exist, where Litzen were sewn-up upon the 07/10.Those Litzen were grey. So, a Pionier could fit in this case too!Here I have a photo of Pi.Btl.7. The officer behind the "Havanna" wears those Litzen too Edited September 5, 2015 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
