Hope everyone enjoyed a Merry and safe Christmas. This is a large photo, about 60 cm per side. To big to scan and difficult to get good photos without a glare. It is "photo-shopped" together from several photos. Lots of impressive titles in the officer ranks. The two hussars in the front center have Reservisten Flasks. I've got one that looks just like them. Enjoy!

Great items !
Let me add mine to the thread.
I have owned this one for many years .
Can some member tell me why the Garde H R has for the enlisted
men helmet a brass /gilt color Garde star
but for the officers the Garde star is silver
Is this the only Imperial German regiment where
the helmet front plates are of a different color ?
Thanks
