I am with Lars on this one. I cannot understand the connection with a MG Shako and the Lippe Feldzeichen with a JB 7 stamp. It makes no sense.I thought the MG Kompagnien wore the same uniform as the parent unit, and only the MG Abteilungen had the special uniform independent of the unit they were assigned to.
I have been working on this problemGlennj wrote:We should not discount the possibility that following the introduction of the September 1915 uniform regulations and the discontinuation of the pre-war MG-Abteilungen uniform, that surplus stocks of the pre-war shako found their way to Jäger battalions and were used as a form or "ersatz" headgear?
