U R 14

[CLOVIS 57]

I have a few spiked helmets where the reserve cross is attached in different places. Maybe the wearer wanted it that way? Is it more visible there? The chapka has a large head size. Maybe the emblem is also a little bigger. I can't answer that.

Hello, the configuration of the Prussian Reserve-Landwehr eagles is very well regulated.

---Reserve officer's eagles, without Vaterland-band, have the FR on the chest and the Landwehrkreuz on the tail. Steve shows a Reserve Officer's Chapska.
---You, on the other hand, without Vaterland-band and without FR, but with the Landwehrkreuz on the chest, it is a Reserve-Landwehr "troop" eagle if the crown is not openwork, and a Landwehr officer's eagle, if the crown is openwork. (in this case Landwehr-Kavallerie Officer of UR14).
Here is the active "enlisted troop" model vith Vaterlandbandeau

Thank you very much. You never stop learning. But why Reg.13?

This is the Prussian Reserve officer's eagle on the left,
and the Prussian Landwehr officer's eagle on the right.


Another Landwehr officer "customized or personnalized".


And the Landser eagle, common to both Reserve and Landsturm.

Wonderful information. Ive been told this before. Was this the case with all Kingdoms, etc?

No. For example, the Landwehrkreuz of the Saxon star, officer or trooper, Reserve or Landwehr, is identical.

Large LWK


Thinner LWK:

Two LWK modules were observed, in both officers and troops: a thinner LWK and a stockier one. I put forward the hypothesis of a Reserve/Landwehr distinction, but was unable to prove it.

Here is a good post about the emblems of Landwehr and Reserve:

The 2nd link is a also an interesting post about Landwehr, especially the uniform table 149 might be of interest to you:
