My Two SOS finds

[J.LeBrasseur]

Good to be home, but already looking forward to next year.

My two big SOS finds this year.

Bavarian Officer Tschapka for Reserve

and

Prussian Pioneer 10th Battalion OYV/Private purchase.

I am super happy with the finds, and thanks again to the others that helped me find and get them.

Fantastic, James. Particularly the Tschapka. I have been looking for a Bavarian one for a while. Good for you that I could not make it to SOS... we might have fought

Very nice!
It's interesting that the font used on the bandeau parts of the Pickelhaube look like the font seen on a 13th Ulan Tschapka and a 73rd infantry plate.

Did a single manufacturer produce the ribbon devices for the 13th Ulans, Inf. Regt. 73, and the 10th Pioneers in 1899 when the battle honors were awarded, or was the font just the official style?
