Dansson Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hello, I've just got this combat veteran shoulder board of a Hauptman. The colours of the thin blue threads (what are those called?) say to me it's Bavarian. I was wondering if it's possible to determine which regiment it is, 1.st König? 1.st Reserve? 1.st Landsturm? Thanks in advance! I bought it as I liked it as it was very worn, unlike most unissued boards aviable. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hi, I think 1st Reserve or landwehr, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prussian Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 (edited) Hello! Inf.Rgt.1 had a monogramm. So it´ll be Reserve or Landwehr. Footartillery is possible too. Bavarian units didn´t have the prussian crossed guns. The blue threads are called "Durchzüge" (pl.), singular "Durchzug". Don´t try to find the word in a dictionary, then you´ll find " draught". Durchzug in this kind is an old german word, that is not in use anymore Edited September 20, 2017 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, your english is better than mine, but is interwoven not only a verb? I think there ain´t no word for the nominativ "Durchzug"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The Prussian : perhaps the best traduction of durchzug to english is across or crossed . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
