Bavarian 1.Inf.Regt. Shoulder board

[Dansson]

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!

Anyone?

Hi, I think 1st Reserve or landwehr,

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

Hi,
Durchzug here means interwoven.

Hello!

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"...

The Prussian : perhaps the best traduction of durchzug to english is across or crossed .
