Bayern Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hello Chris , Why you dislike the cover ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 HI, the cloth itself, and how its sewn, but the very fact that it has a crown... the Leib Regt did not wear crowns on the cover. There are isolated photos, but it seems to have been a single photo studio that had one with a crown and veeeeeery occasionaly you see a photo of a leiber in their studio with a crown.

The Prussian Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Hello! I found another one in Schiffer´s book "The imperial german armies", vol. II. It´s from Marshall Daut´s collection. Edited December 1, 2018 by The Prussian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 I have a 3rd card with the same cover. Chip had the theory, and I think it the logical one... there being a photographer or 2 near the Leiber barracks who had one of these for when the guys came in for their Photo Op... When you see pics of them, and they are pretty scarce, then they are on a "March out" photo.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Just a thought, but would the stitching look that bright on a well worn cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
