Bavarian Leib Regiment?

[Chris Boonzaier]

I had hoped for Bavarian cuffs or something to make identification easier.... but all there is are the shoulder boards.... do you think these are Bavarain?

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

No, they are not Leibers. None have collar Litzen. The crown is that of Inf.Rgt.53. Could you post some close-ups just so I can confirm?

Hi,

 

for some reason I thought that later in the war the Litzen fell away... here is a closer one....

This is an interesting one, the guy standing has Bavarian cuffs, they have Litzen, the Tripod was often with mountain units.... but they have rolled their straps!

This is from Hammelburg, I guess a MG Training course....
