Lukasz Gaszewski Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 One little remark: this shoulder board (of a colonel) was used prior to WWI. In 1914 for obvious reasons the regiment lost the patron and the cypher was replaced by Russian "П" (P). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
