Bavarian GFM epaulettes on the Helmut Weitze site

[KAGGR#1]

I once photographed pictures for you from a book of the Bavarian rank insignia. In the clothing regulations from 1904 it was specified that edge stars on the armpits and shoulder braids should be worn gold-plated. But there is nothing here about the epaulettes!!

Reiner
Great information
Thanks so much for the post
I think that what you posted tells the true story
The crossed batons are silver and the cypher is over the crossed batons
Excellent !
I have not seen that book before
What year was it published ?
Thank you
Steve

Steve, I think photo #4 in Reiner’s post is what the epaulettes should look like (since it actually is Price Rupprecht’s) with the cypher mounted on the crossed batons.
Great post, Reiner!

Do you have a copy ?
It must be out of print ?
What is the exact title ?
Thanks

I went there to find it. For us in the USA, about $55 for the book and $74 to ship. Wow.
