Hi, I've never seen it either. But I suspect that they are not "regular" M15 shoulder boards (we also need to know the dimensions + back). But I guess it is more a WW1 memento / WW1 Reservistika!? Like for a picture frame, see prewar example: Reservisten-Bild ... or something similar. Anyway...

The "Hauptmann von Köpenick" is a true story! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Voigt In 1906, the shoemaker Wilhelm Voigt purchased parts of used Prussian Guards Captain's uniforms from different shops and tested their effect on soldiers. He had resigned from the shoe factory ten days...

Hi, this can probably help: "Vocabulary of German Military Terms and Abbreviations" (1917): https://archive.org/details/vocabularygerma00britgoog/page/n6/mode/2up?view=theater Best regards, Jens

Steve, according to the regulation (AKO) from the 6. Nov. 1888 until 1900 when it was replaced with the wide winged Grenadier Eagle. (#9) Wonderful Emblem! Best regards, Jens

Hi Lars, great - many thanks for the AVB 1909! Now we have it officially, there was no company that won the Kaiser Badge three times in a row (for 1908, 1909, 1910 !). And now - perhaps a sample (Probestück) ???? I have no idea! Thanks & best regards, Jens p.s.: anyway, on the jacket of the...

... maybe!?! Also I checked the regulations (AVB) again, the only company for 1908 and 1910 was the 3rd Comp. of the FR90. Unfortunately I can not find my ArmeeVerordnungsBlatt for 1909 - maybe someone has one! ... the image quality is unfortunately not the best - but this Kaiser-Abzeichen...

Hi, there was no unit/company that had these three years on the Kaiserabzeichen!!! One first idea was, maybe it could be a Probestück??? But the production quality of the badge is bad. (missing details, poor edges, no cut-out in the top of the imperial crown and the dull surface, etc. ...). ...

Tony, I'm very sorry to hear that, a really great site - the best site for decades! (das einzige Wahre!) But you can still view the site via wayback-maschine: (it takes a while until everything is loaded!) https://web.archive.org/web/20240214023505/https://www.kaisersbunker.com/ I hope you can...

Steve, wonderful badges and picture - thank you very much for showing! ;) Best regards, Jens Kaiserabzeichen 1903, 1906,1907: 8. Komp. Inf.-Rgt. Nr.116 Kaiserabzeichen 1900 & 1901 maybe: 7. Komp. Füs.-Rgt. Nr.34 or 12. Komp. Inf.-Rgt. Nr.48

Steve, according to the Verordnung from the 2nd September 1903: "... that the badge is only awarded every two years and that it is only to be worn by the MG-Abteilung for one year. ..." ... so I assume that the entire MG Abteilung received the badge!??? In the "Taschenbuch des...

Hi, I won't say anything else without my lawyer!, but potential buyers have to ask themselves the following questions; > Assuming someone sells many several PLMs in the last months/years and continues to offer several PLMs every 6 to 8 weeks - how realistic is this? > What does an old imperial...

Hi Steve, here is my tunic with Kaiserabzeichen and Kaiserschnur! And you have to take a look into the back pockets inside (Schosstaschen) of your jacket, maybe there is also a label from the tailor? Sometimes there is also something "hidden" in there. ;) Best regards, Jens

Steve, wonderful tunic! Congratulations! I think the Kaiserabzeichen is from Juncker (under the crown must be a small "CEJ"). :) Best regrads, Jens p.s.: there is also a story about this imperial badge for 1912. At first, the Erste Garde Regiment had acquired this award in 1912. But afterwards...

Hi, it is difficult with the guard eagle without a star, probably too many different variants (as Clovis 57 already wrote). (with straight or curved crossguard, Bandeau variants, number of tail feathers, sceptre with arcanthus flower or with small eagle, etc. ...) Many years ago I was talking...

Steve, that*s correct, but the FAR29 have the cypher "L" until May 1913 and the Königsabzeichen they won before that time. ;) Best regards, Jens

Steve, yes - probably württemberger Field Artillery - the photo is from Ludwigsburg: https://wiki.genealogy.net/Garnisonsorte_1914 ... and there was the Württemberger Field Artillery Regiment No. 29 & No.65. Both units won the Königsabzeichen: FAR29: 1895, 1898, 1901 - the FAR65: 1905 and 1912...

Steve, are there any details/informations on the backside (photographer & town name)? Otherwise, a big enlargement of the Schulterklappe would be helpful. ;) Greetings Jens @ nzef1940: the cartridge 1903 is really great - thanks for showing! (y) possible for 1903 & infantry : 1. Garde-R z...

Hi Taylor, there are informations about a photo studio (+ town name) on the photograph (CdV). The 1. Ulan-Rgt. was in Barnberg, the 2. Ulan-Rgt. was in Ansbach. Best regards, Jens
