Ian Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Bilol, The Shoulder boards belong to a 'Stabsmaschinwaerter' - summer uniform. The propellor and crown are for the left sleeve of either an 'Oberstabsmaschinwaerter', 'Stabsmaschinwaerter' or a 'Maschinwaerter'- winter uniform. I have a very similar set, but mine are for a 'Maschinwaerter' A very, very nice set of k.u.k. kriegsmarine uniform accoutrements.

Ian Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 There are refence books in German readily available. I have several and luckily for me they are not difficult to translate. The shoulder boards are for an officer of the a 'kaiserschutzen' regiment, Emperor Karl period (late 1916/early 1917 until 1918). The two cap badges you have are for a 'higher' level matrosen (sailor) (FJ1 = Franz Josef 1) and the other cap badge (K = Karl) goes along with your 'Stabsmaschinwaerter' items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
