03fahnen Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Hello, gentlemen, I would like to show you this sampler of passanten. They are those little pieces of the collection that I am passionate about.
91-old-inf-reg Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Very nice! Is this an example of what a salesman would have in his shop? Similar to the samples of award ribbons? I know the Kingdom of Württemberg also had their own unique passanten, thus the next logical question to be asked is, what other German States had their own unique passanten. I can assume that the Grand Dukedoms, Duchies, and principalities all used the Prussian passanten, however, the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has been know to have their own rules and unique uniform pieces that where adhered too, was this another example of this? I know that paradeschärpes where often unique to their state, was this also the case? Regards
03fahnen Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 I don't know exactly how many states had different "passanten". Württemberg did have its own model. Württemberg ausser Dinenst: The Imperial Navy also had its own particular model: Here is an example of the personal uniform of S.M. Alfonso XIII. King of Spain, à la suite der Marine
91-old-inf-reg Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 @03fahnen, truly a rabbit hole in itself! Was the sampler from a salesmen or shop?
03fahnen Posted October 31, 2021 Author Posted October 31, 2021 That of the king of Spain, are from the photos that I was able to take in the naval museum of Madrid (Spain) Those of Wurtemberg are samples collected from the internet
Bayern Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 I believe that the officers of the German States with Militaerkonvention with Prussia weared Prussian Passants and silver flecked with black shoulder boards. I am referring to those States that have either a unique Regiment or only a Bataillon into a Prussian regiment, Mecklenburg was apart , Brunswick too , your collection of original samples is great
