    I got this grouping and wanted to be sure I am identifying them properly. The officer board with green I presume is Saxon, but beyond that, clueless. Jäger, perhaps,, if I am not missing some other possibility. I gather a cypher or number would have really helped.

    Bavarian 3 Landwehr or Reserve Infanterie? 

    Beamter--anything special or specific?

    I know the enlisted 20 is a simplified model.  Do the numbers seem to indicate Bavarian?

    Hello Fritz!

    You´re right with the 3rd regiment. Reserve or Landwehr.

    What is the base colour of the reverse of the bavarian Beamter? Red?

    If red we have different officials...:  Administrator, Rendant, Kriegsgerichtsrat, Telegraphen-Oberbaurat and more...

    Hallo Andy! Thanks.

    Basically I am trying to ID these properly so I can choose what to keep or trade off/sell. 

    The Beamter is dirty and deceptive with the original colour, but seems to be a burgundy velvet. I have a single Kragenspiegel I bought  in a close colour that Chip thought was General Staff,  The Beamter has more of what I would call a "dried blood version" of this colour:

    General staff patches for M1910 uniform were crimson . a rather pinkish red . the patch that you shows is for me a General Staff one.

    That confirms what I was told. Thanks. 

    Does the enlisted Feldgrau "20" strike you as Bavarian, or is it anyone's guess?
