Mark M Posted March 24, 2006 Posted March 24, 2006 ChrisAccording the Das Deutsche Heer, the 15th Infantry Bavarian Regiment used the number 15 on their shoulder boards. That looks more like the cypher for the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Regiment. I can't tell from your scan but there should be an crown embroidered above the insignia. Mark
Chip Posted March 25, 2006 Posted March 25, 2006 Mark's right. This is the cypher of the 2.bayr.I.R. The crown is very distinct and particular to this regiment. It is applied, that is, it is cut out and sewn down.Chip
