Fritz Posted December 11, 2017 Author Share Posted December 11, 2017 Shoulder strap for a one-year volunteer with Königlich Bayerisches 1. Feldartillerie-Regiment Prinz-Regent Luitpold for the coloured peacetime uniform. The button should be slightly smaller. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
