Very nice

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.

 

Regards,

Ian

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.
