Schulterstücke Bayern Oberst 10. Inf.-Rgt. König Ludwig Ingolstadt

[Fritz die Spinne]

I usually do not get overly excited by officer items, but these have me over the moon right now. I collect the regiment, so the find of Schulterstücke for an Oberst in k.b. 10. Inf.-Rgt. König Ludwig, Ingolstadt is top!  With some research I am -almost- confident they belonged to long standing commander Hans Mieg (later Ritter von Mieg).

Mieg and his wife were killed in the Würzberg bombing in March 1945. He was 80. I would imagine if these were his that they were elsewhere at the time of his death. They came out of a dwindling Bavarian collection that has been slowly sold from for 20 years. No other info is known.

I also seek other photos of von Mieg. The only one I can locate is in the unit history.

Any help sleuthing would be appreciated! Vielen Dank.

There is a definate preference for non officer items.... but on the other hand, officer things are infinitly moe researchable.

Fantastic buy!!! and IMHO the price was OK
