hkmsn Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Anyone have an opinion which unit these belong to? (no maker marks I can see) Was told British but could be German. Grateful for any comments Edited April 13, 2017 by hkmsn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binky Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 160th Infantry Regiment? Definitely German, rank of Colonel (Oberst). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hkmsn Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Other opinion was they're for a Hauptmann (something like a Captain) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 No, they are definitely for an Oberst, a Hauptmann has not these fringes. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hello! If Inf.Rgt.160, the base colour under the numbers might be blue. It´s difficulty to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmsn Posted April 18, 2017 Author Share Posted April 18, 2017 Thanks, They're light blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Then it´s correct! I don´t know, who weared the epaulettes. There were 12 commanders between 1897 and 1919 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkmsn Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Thanks, bought these with a pair of 18c Royal Navy epaulettes 20+ years ago - forgot about them until I was just moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
