Great photos, gentlemen! Thanks for posting these very rare images! :thumb up:

I especially like yours, Joe, with the Mecklenburg buckle clearly visible, that's awesome! I'm almost drooling over that one! =P~

All the Best,

Alan

Great pictures! Thanks a lot. Follow their footsteps on one of the battlefields, where Jaegerbataillon 14 actively fought: at the Hartmannswillerkopf mountain, Vosges, France.

For a Reserve helmet in JB14, what did the Tschako plate look like?

Thanks for the picture.

Would there have also been a Jaeger star with only the cross on it for the Landwehr?

Very likely, this from the 1905 dress regulations:

A Tombac sun with a silver cross....

but how big would the cross likely have been?

Wow. What's the rough estimate of the number of troops in the outfit circa 1914?

26 Officers

Good grief. That's like finding a hen's tooth.
