Thank you all for your opinions and comments! History of the Edelweiss: The Edelweiss was worn by members of the Alpenkorps. In WW1 the regulations were not the same like in WW2 for those Edelweiss Badges on the caps. When italy declared the war against austro-hungarian empire in the first...

It wasnt so dirty at all. A little use of the vacuum cleaner was all that had to be done. It was in a crushed shape and i had to give it its shape back, but that wasnt a problem. One week in the fridge killed all the animals at least so now it has his final home in my closet. Andi

And the last one in the row. Not a true Jäger Cap but it pretends to be :-) Here we have a Universal Fieldcap issued by the XIII. Armeekorps. It could have been worn by any unit of that AK but for my collection that fieldcap shows a cap worn by an enlisted soldier of württembergisches...

Here we have one of my holy grails. A Depot issued Fieldcap for enlisted jägers in fieldgreen. It has a Depot Issue Stamp from the 5th Armee Korps. That Korps only set up two Jäger units. Jäger Bataillon Nr. 5 and Reserve Jäger Bataillon Nr. 5. The Reserve Jäger Bataillon Nr. 5 saw action in the...

Here we have a nice early war prussian example. As you can see the cloth part is fieldgreen cloth compared to a darker green colorband. It is quiet a dark green but it apears that Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10 used a little darker green. I saw a Waffenrock of Jäger Bataillon Nr. 10 here in the forum...

Hello Collectors! I posted before, but not in this section of the forum. I am Andi from Germany. I collect for 15 years now everything connected with the 12th battle of the Isonzo. One main Unit of this battle in Oktober 1917 was the German Jägerdivision, set up right before the battle behind...

Thank you so much for showing me your pieces! Very nice! Yes, compared to each other yours is looking like an issued strap and my like a private purchased one. Or maybe yours was made later in the war than mine?! I purchased these boards all from a women who was selling the collection of her...

@KAGGR#1 These are lovley pieces! Amazing! You are right its hard to tell which is an infantry board and which an ulan. To be honest, i didnt know before you told me that there was an infantry regiment using the same cypher. My board appears to be more slim than all my other infantry boards...

and the last one! Strap for Hannover Königs Ulanen Regiment Nr. 13. That one is for the coat / Mantel.

Ulanen Regiment Nr. 13 "Königs-Ulanen" from Hannover. That one is a real massive board and seems to be old, long time before the war.

Major württembergisches Ulanen Regiment Nr. 19

Ulanen Regiment Nr. 16 all type.

M15 Board for a Major serving with the same Regiment.

Hello collectors! Today i was lucky and able to get some nice straps and boards different types all from Ulanen Regiments. One of them i already showed in my other thread because it is one of my missing boards of the 14th Army. Sadly the others dont fit into my collection but they are worth to...

Yippee! Today i was able to get another board form my list. Look at this beautiful board for a Leutnant serving with the württembergischen Ulanen Regiment Nr. 19. I found a few more wich i will show in an extra thread. Best wishes! Andi

Thank you! Very nice pictures of Straps and i am sure we all found some gems for our collections on them! For me it feels like the interest in Straps and Boards is raising, too. I knew Chip. He was aktive on some german Forums, too and i always appreciated his help and his outstanding...

Hello Steve! Thanks for your answer! Yes i decided to collect all wartime pieces. The battle was in Oktober 1917, so the M15 versions would be the more fitting ones but i think on such project you can not be piky. Especially the Minenwerfer, Pioniere and Jäger are so rare that there is a very...

Board for a Veterinarian. Note the absence of the Äskulabstab / Stick by the snake.

And some Straps and Boards of Units which belonged to any army. Here we have a Hauptmann of the Kraftfahrtruppen.
