I am posting this for member Steve M. :
Hello to all ;
Here is a pair that I have had in the collection
for a number of years .
By regulations this pair is incorrect
First I do not feel they are put together
If I did I would not even ask the question
The cyphers are for Hessian Inf Regt 117
a matched pair
from the back side we can see they were worn
on a uniform
However , the braid has the Prussian Black & White
colors woven into it
I M O the white underlay would be late change
when all Inf regiments were going to white
the braid is the later subdued grey
the rank is major .
Any feed -back ; opinions
Many thanks
Steve
