Marvellous photos! From my $120.00 Uniforms & Equipment of the Austro-Hungarian Army in world War One by Spencer Coil I got - squat. From my second-hand, $12.00 Men-at-Arms The Austro-Hungarian Forces in World War 1 I got this. "When on duty as Feldgendarmerie, they would wear a yellow /...

Fantastic job =D> I would have been the guy selling the 'irreparable' helmet on Ebay rather than having the foresight to try to try a restoration on it. Amazing. - Brett

Very informative. Thanks mate!

Given the similarities between the two uniforms it's often hard to tell, unless your field of expertise is the cavalry in which case a mere glance is all that is required (right Marshall?). My money is on them being Cuirassiers.

1908 Feldgrau version of the coloured peacetime uniform. It was replaced by the 1910 tunic with stand-up collar and buttons down the front instead of hooks.

Sorry Joe, no idea about your geographically-challenged Uhlan, but I just had to raise this old chestnut ... Munich 1915 by drakegoodman, on Flickr Reverse: Munich 1915 reverse by drakegoodman, on Flickr

These fellows (black coats) were k.u.k. Landwehr and elements were mobilised to form the military police in the field. Austrian Feldgendarm by drakegoodman, on Flickr

Thanks Tony / Phil. It would appear there was a limited number of manufacturers of the JzP helmets?

I kinda blew the budget on this one, so I might just hang onto it for a few days before I consider which charity to donate it to :-k

I agree Ron, I would have preferred these fellows in the steel helmets.

An interesting picture of some fellows from Jäger-Regiment zu Pferde Nr.12 wearing Dragoon helmets, owing to supply problems of their distinctive JzP helmets at the time. According to Kraus, they would not receive the blackened steel helmets until 1915. Jäger z. Pferd by drakegoodman, on Flickr

Not at all. Just click on the image and choose original size and you will be able to read it just fine :D "1.b. Landw. Inf. Reg. 12 Komp. V Korpralschaft".

Where can I get tickets for a front row seat?

I never had to look twice at Joe's photo :D Find me one of those and I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.

I've had a few Bavarian postcards arrive in recent weeks and have decided to put together a small thread to show off what I believe to be one of the nicest of all the helmet plates. A group of Bavarian infantrymen from Kgl. Bayer. 18. Infanterie-Regiment Prinz Ludwig Ferdinand in the grounds...

Sorry mate, I just think it's just shade or a characteristic of the old photo developing method.

Something you don't see every day ... Bayr. earrings by drakegoodman, on Flickr

I lingered on there for ages. This is simply marvellous! I've sent you a Dropbox invitation Joe to download the Spring Edition of 'Over the Front', which I know you'll enjoy.

A fine old picture Joe, cheers! Incidentally, according to this German / Polish website, Piotr Linckelmann operated in Altona from 1889 - 1900: fotorevers.eu

This and your article at Kaiser's Bunker are simply brilliant. In particular the last photo on KB already mentioned by Francis is a show-stopper. Cheers! Brett
