Daniel Murphy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I am not sure what they are (perhaps Polish ?), but they are not Prussian rank buttons. Sorry.Dan Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 You might get some clue from any maker information on the back, though often the manufacture of military buttons was farmed out to other countries. The eagle buttons are all Polish. The one on the bottom right looks similar to a French artilllery button, but this motif is pretty common for artillery, so it may well be Polish too.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The second one (crowned "L") is not a rank button. I do like your nice selection Tom.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Murphy Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 The second one (crowned "L") is not a rank button.Any idea whaty it is?I would say 1860's-70's Bavarian. It does look like the badge of mad King Ludwigs cypher as on their raupenhelm of the period.Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The pair of collar disks are nice. Must be from the transitional period, before the Bluse was introduced for the Bavarians. Their new design disk came out in March of 1916. These appear to be painted steel or Kriegsmetall, but with the earlier pattern Löwe. I would expect to see this pattern on the simplified Waffenröcke.

Chris Boonzaier Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Hi Chip, what did they look like after March 1916? I did not know there were different Bavarian ones. Best Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Chris, Here are examples of the second pattern Bavarian Wappenknöpfen. At the top are a pair of Sergeant disks, then a Gefreiter pair and finally two examples from the Friedensrock.
