Thank you for posting the 1992 magazine article. History did seem to stop in 1914. I keep my empire collecting down to two.

Just a fantastic tunic. Should be in a museum.

Thank you for posting. If he did receive my bid , I lost.

I won pair of general's shoulder boards from Hermann. I am still waiting for the invoice. This happened the last time I won something from that auction house. With Kube ,I bid on one item . I have no idea if my bid reached him in time or if I won.

Great that you have the matching pair again! Kyle

Are these SMS Pommern officers?

Did Kammerbulle go out of business?

Thank you Steve for the shoulder board underlay information. Also, I found that helmet book you suggested on Abebooks from a bookstore in Germany and ordered it, only $48. Kyle

Thank you Steve for the information on the book. I will keep my eye out for it. Do all dragoon officer shoulder boards have the lighter blue (cornflower?) underlay? Kyle

Beautiful helmets and shoulder insignia. Could someone with more talent than me please publish a book in the manner of Paul Sander's "Imperial German Hussars 1880-1910) on the Dragoon regiments? I promise to buy two!

Welcome! I thought I saw or read somewhere that the torpedo staff on the capital ships also had the red script.

In 1914 the Infanterie Regiment von Grolman Nr.18 (20th Army Corps) epaulettes would have had a blue background. However, the "Atlas des Deutschen Reichheers " published by Carl Henckel in Dresden in 1901 lists the regiment as being in the 17th Army Corps but with a yellow background.

You are welcome. Didier Lainé's book once again to the rescue.

Thüringisches Fußartillerie Regiment Nr. 18 raised in 1912 stationed in Niederzwehren (Cassel) 11th Army Corps.

Great color comparison. Thanks!

Wonderful hat.

Here is a photo of what I own and which was sold to me by reputable German dealer as a Garde Kürassier cap and not a Kürassier Nr. 3 one . But we all know there can be many variations in the color blue especially after 100 years.
