A few new Jäger pieces

[GBL]

Hello all,

A couple of Jäger related items i recently added to the collecion!

A Tellermütze with a cockade of reserve unter offizier and a cockade of Mecklenburg, wich is quite rare i think.
As far as i could find Mecklenburg had only two Jäger bataillons, the Jäger bataillon 14 and Reserven Jäger bataillon 14.

Also a S98/05 a.A with a Jäger troddel of the III. compagny, made by Simson & Co in 1915. The frog looks like a private purchase item.

The items are not in the best condition but i really like the aesthetics of both pieces.

Hi,

 

really nice! Are you sure it is Meck though? I would have thought Prussian? Are the cards from the artist A. Reich?

Thanks Chris! The cards are indeed Albert Reich.

As far as i could find the collors of the c ockade represent Mecklenburg, but corrections are always welcome!

Hi, the top one is actually The Reichs Kokarde, I have seen quite a few that have aged to yellow in the middle... the bottom one is the Prussian one.

Does it have any stamps?

All the  best

Hi, No stamps sadly, as it is a private purchase mütze i suspect. It does have the remains of a name: Lich

The liner is also repaired with black thread.
