Helping a friend with some family mementos from WWI and found these. I realise that theyre German but cant seem to narrow down the shoulder boards. I think the belt buckle is maybe pre-WWI.

1. Grey shoulder board is Grenadier-Regiment König Friedrich Wilhelm IV (1.Pommersches) Nr.2

 

2. Yellow/red one is Fussartillerie-Regiment 24 (foot artillery).

 

3. Buckle is early 20th century (WW I) Saxony.

Thanks very much PK! These are bring-backs from her grandfather who was in the Canadian Mounted Rifles before he transferred over to the Royal Flying Corps.

 

Thanks again!

Hi Rick,

 

I'm slow to writing here.

 

Does the Saxon Model 1915 steel buckle have a maker mark on the back side? Just curious, as I'm helping a friend in Germany work on a new Imperial German buckle book.

 

Thanks in advance for your reply.

 

Best Regards,

 

Alan
