I'm curious to see a M1866 board with this insignia. These boards were supposedly discontinued before 1900.

Would it have been a Jäger board?

Chip, Chris,

discontinued in 1888. Most probably a Landwehr Jäger officer in the I. Armeekorps area.

Thanks!

Do you have any thoughts to the officers backpack on Portepee NCOs?

Chris,

a couple of Fähnrichs. They wore the officers’ Tornister.
