A request for help in identifying the regiment.

[Eichenblatt]

Dear Sirs,
I kindly request you to indicate to which regiment we can attribute this headgear.
Thank you in advance for the courtesy of indicating the formation.
I remain with respect.

Can't really identify the state from that photo but it looks to be from one of the Train-Abteilungen

 

[Jeff R]

Agree - appears to be Train officer. The state cockade looks like a faded/darkened example of the Bavarian officer version. If the inside has a maker's mark, it could be a good indicator of which unit it was from.

Thank you very much gentlemen. Unfortunately I do not have any other photographs currently....

Well, I just wasn't sure what color the band was.....objections of daltonism....

That could really make it difficult, sometimes with fading and such its tuff enough to distinguish color can't imagine having to deal with that and trying to figure it out. Something I've never thought of.
Glad members came together to help out, if you find a makers mark I'm sure we could give you a specific unit.
