I've been looking for shoulder straps of the HR5 for 12 years. I bought this shoulder strap today. I think it's the 5th Hussars.
I do not know of another regiment that would have such shoulder straps.
Dear Steve,
I dont know..
Baden became part of the German Empire in 1871. Probably, then there were shoulder straps of a different type. We'll be looking for photos.
Dear Steve
Very interesting. The monogram of Großherzogin Alice is not on the Hessian shoulder strap, but on the Prussian one. I've never seen anything like it.
Dear colleagues, what do you think about this shoulder-strap? Is it from Imperial Germany or something from the period of the Weimar Republic? Or Chili? Thanks
Welcome! We are glad to see you! A very good saber! Dragoons is an interesting topic.
Die blauen Dragoner, sie reiten
Mit klingendem Spiel durch das Tor
Fanfaren sie begleiten
Hell zu den Hügeln empor
Kind regards, Reingold
Hello everyone!
Does anyone collect shoulder straps of military officials (Germany WW1)?
For example my Prussian Militarebeamte zahlmeister M1915 for fieldgrey (feldgrau) uniform and M1888
The color transfer when photographing depends a lot on the lighting, so I asked. Now I understand everything! Thank you very much, Steve! Its my one of favourite`s Husaren regiment.
Dear Steve,
You have an original officer`s shoulder strap of the 5HR in your collection. Please tell me, which color is more similar to the color of the underlay of your shoulder strap, on the left or on the right? Or is there no such color here at all? Thank you
