What a pleasant surprise, I thought this was a quirky one-of. Thanks timp_be! =D>

No - not even a photographer's stamp on the back to help us with a garrison town, but I was thinking Train-Bataillon on account of his 'haube, Swedish cuffs, Faustriemen and cavalry breeches / boots.

Another mystery item landed in my mailbox last week. From the preview pics I was sent by the dealer I thought it was just a case of a snug fitting Überzug until I enlarged it ... Plain helmet by drakegoodman, on Flickr

I was always of the opinion they had just been hand tinted, interesting.

Thanks Chip, that's certainly another line of enquiry to follow. Here's what Marshall wrote, "The only thing I can think of is that they might be Landsturm from the Leib-Infanterie-Regiment or the first company of that battalion. Some Litzened regiments placed an "L" on the shoulder strap...

I note that the "L" is identical to that on the shoulder straps of the men of Kgl. Bayer. 10. Infanterie-Regiment König who were garrisoned at Ingolstadt (III Bavarian Armeekorps). Could it be these fellows are from b. Ldst.-I.-Btl. Ingolstadt (III. B. 7)? Busche: b. Ldst.-I.-Btl. Ingolstadt...

First time I've seen these. "L" for Lieb maybe? Bayer. Landst. / Unidentified collar insignia by drakegoodman, on Flickr Detail: Detail of collar insignia by drakegoodman, on Flickr Reverse: Bayer. Landst. reverse by drakegoodman, on Flickr

I was interested to see these guys carrying handguns of some description. Gelsenkirchen Feuerwehr by drakegoodman, on Flickr

Well done.

Why do I always overlook the Fußartillerie :oops: . I think you nailed it Glenn. You might be right, I thought the "ball" looked too small and was just a tied off piece of the Überzug.

An interesting picture I received a couple of weeks ago. I'm not sure whether this fellow is trying to give the appearance of wearing a Kugelhelm - which would be at odds with the Brandenburg cuffs, wouldn't it? :-k His Gew 91 with stacking hook was certainly issued to the artillery rather than...

It turns out that this isn't just a one-off sculpture as I originally thought. Yours for $65.00 from Citadel Models. http://soga-miniatures.com/index.php?productID=29048" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I think you know the answer to that already - Nyet! 1:35 scale.

I wanted a change of scenery, but the avatar I chose was too big. When I reduced it, it kind of lost it's appeal so I deleted it. I'll come up with something soon.

Some clever Russian fellow has sculpted a Landsturmmann based on a soldier in one of my photos with impressive results: Original: Bearded Landsturmmann from Landsturm Infanterie Bataillon 'Breslau', Bernstadt (Silesa) railway station 1914 by drakegoodman, on Flickr The sculpted figure...

Thank-you for including me in your mail-out Joe. A fascinating little document that will come in handy when I'm trying to construct one of my half-arsed narratives on Flickr. I particularly like the regulations covering the accoutrements like map-cases and binoculars. That kind of detail is...

Very handy indeed. This is my weapon of choice, Jonathan Viser's website: http://home.comcast.net/~jcviser/page_9.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
