FALvonKyffhausen Posted July 22, 2022 Author Share Posted July 22, 2022 Sorry I didn't understood that, I thought I saw an portepee on his left side. So is he a Sergeant or a Vizefeldwebel? Kind Regards FAL v. K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayern Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Quote FALvon Kyffhausen , Yes he carries a bayonet knot but its not a Officiers Portepee . Rank and file all carry Bavonet knots or Sabre faustriemen if Mounted troop . The officiers Portepee was in silver thread and closed that is without fringes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
