    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.

    Very nice!

    Is this an example of what a salesman would have in his shop? Similar to the samples of award ribbons? 42DBEA9D-A74F-4C61-9E8B-4A537F6ED793.jpeg.b252bf69725953424984270e6f205c30.jpeg

     

    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

    I don't know exactly how many states had different "passanten".
    Württemberg did have its own model.

    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

    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

    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
