patches Posted September 13, 2023 Share #55 Posted September 13, 2023 A post March 1934 photo with the new Tricolor Shield, I think they are from the 13th Infantry Regiment, 13. (Württembergisches) Infanterie-Regiment, so now they no longer wear their old State Shield but the new National one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted September 30, 2023 Share #58 Posted September 30, 2023 This has to be a very early RW Cavalryman, looks like it was taken in the unit's Arms Room. The unit, can't really make out the numbers on his shoulder straps, maybe 13, Reiter-Regiment 13???. Did see that the Cavalry Regiments of the RW took traditions from the former Regiments, in this case as he's wearing the Ulan uniform, perhaps Hannoversches Königs-Ulanen-Regiment Nr. 13. Great photo, see the Racks of Sabres behind him and the Artillery Luger with Butt stock he's handling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bike is a Victoria KR 35 WH Pionier, don't think it seen much use after the 30s no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themick Posted January 22 Share #69 Posted January 22 Question about the correct side for the national colors (tri-color shield) to be painted on: Post #1 shows an example where it is painted on the right side of the helmet. Post #13 shows them on the left side. There is one shown on the WAF on the right side. So, are the two shown examples on the right side bad and that this shield was only painted on the left side? Do we know this? Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know this? Steve I for one don't know the explanation for this, an anomaly. As seen in several photos the new Tri-Color Shield was by regulation put on the left side of the helmet.
