Hello Some pictures of soldiers with a 8 Uberzug

I totally do agree. I did it and took lots of pictures because I will never do it again, indeed there is a real risk of destruction.

Wouah =D> I would be glad too whenever I manage one day to catch such an amazing Uberzug !

Hello I have only one officier helmet and it has split brads. I removed the plate to show that - the plate is the original one when you see the print in the leather - the washer have been too in place for a very long time - the soldered joint is clean, no patch-up job So with...

An very interesting type of Uberzug. Have someone already seen such a Kuirassier Uberzug model but with the seams not in the front face but on the sides faces ? (there is the same difference between the firts Infantry Uberzug type with seams on the front and back face and the second type with...

A very uncommon Uberzug. Everything looks very good for me

Nice piece but I can't manage to see if there was a regiment mark.

Hello Here is a Uberzug which has known WWI It is not easy but we can see the painted numbers : 124, which have been painted directly by the soldier after the order removing the red numbers (). The soldier traced a line to help him painting the 3 numbers at the same level. The green colour...

We agree. But some times, it is possible to find some relationship as for instance two units belonging to the same BA for instance, or two units which fought in the same area

Here is a nice Uberzug of the RIR 65, took by a french soldier on a german prisonner in february 1915 And here is a picture of a soldier of the same regiment In the two cases, you can note that the numbers are stitched a little lopsided. In the case of the Uberzug, we can note different...

Generally, the reserve units used to take Uberzug from nearest activ units Kammer, but here the distance between the garrison cities of GR 6 and RIR 36 is huge. But during WWI, long distance transfert between units without logical relation was possible too, especially in case of lack of material.

Hello For me these loops were used to fasten a red manouever headband.

Hello I made a mistake, I spoke woth a relation with RIR 36 and GR 6. I found in the Verlustlisten any Milk in RIR 36 or GR 6...

Very nice mod 15 Uberzug. I like the colour and seams of the number.

Very intesresting, I know another Uberzug with same markings GR 7 , 7C and the strange rectangular crossed out mark. It has too a label with the name of the grenadier ! I can't find the link between RIR 36 and GR 7, the garrison cities were far each one. Another explanation must exist.

Never seen before too. Another code during the maneuvers ? For judge of the quality of the actions for instance ?

A very scare piece. Have you an idea of the size ? 49, 50 for instance ? The smallest "real" Pickelhaube I know has a size of 52 and it is yet very small for us, it could look like a Kinder helmet but it is a real one. I am impressed by the quality of what was just a toy. Material could be used...

Interesting white yarn. Lots of colour were used to stitch.

What an excellent idea !

Hello Alan I was just in front of the Bayern Kaserne yesterday, while walking to the Christmas Market in Metz and I was thinking about the Uberzug ! It was a pleasure to work with you. Next time you find a Uberzug, pease contact me directly, it would be easier ! :wink:
