Greetings all
Hope you are all enjoying a relaxing Sunday, it will be 112 degrees in the shade here today, so I'm staying inside pretty much and looking at stuff in the war room.
Picked this image up off of Ebay a while back and thought it was something you all might enjoy looking at. Just a great assemblage of many things we all like to collect. I believe the men belong to either the 100 or 101 Saxon Infantry.
This detail of the stacked rifles (looks like the Model 1871) and tornisters with attached messkits is great. I believe the knapsacks are the 1859 pattern with the side pockets for spare equipment.
The seated NCO is an 1870-1871 War veteran and has been awarded the EK 2nd Class. Does anyone know if the thin stripe over the base of his shoulder strap indicates that he is an Officer Candidate?
The original image size is roughly 7x9 inches, so it is a larger image with lots of good detail.
Enjoy guys..
Larry
