https://www.worldmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/discover/World Militaria Forum - All ActivityenI just started a bayonet collection and here are the ones I have found so far. The differences in them are very interesting from the early to late war models. I saw online that the single loop frog is for field artillery; is that correct? I looked for the reference book but it is out of my price range at the moment.Fri, 17 Apr 2026 23:35:11 +0000Another one, another Gebirgs Division one. Makes me wonder if the only troops to wear the modified and or insignia upgraded Austrian Tunics were strictly those former Austrian troops who were now in a Division formed from the Austrian Army, or did these tunics so modified and or insignia uprated tunics see wide distribution within the Heer as a whole, in example troops of the Berlin formed 3rd Panzer Division, the Cologne raised 26th Infantry Division, the Darmstadt raised 9th Infantry Division etc etcFri, 17 Apr 2026 23:11:05 +0000Mr. Bushido, thank you so much for your help.

KenThu, 16 Apr 2026 23:43:38 +0000Thanks, wow I never knew that, just thought that if they were in the Great War they would wear any KuK awards in the KuK fashion medal bars, but then if they were awarded medals for the Wehrmacht, then they had to wear in in the German fashion.Thu, 16 Apr 2026 20:18:44 +0000Excellent finds!!

A different photo of the one posted in Post #93.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:38:13 +0000The German award is the same ribbon you show. The crossed swords indicate combat service and lack of them indicate a non-combatant. They are both tied the same for Germans. That is to say straight up and down tie.Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:09:35 +0000
