Fritz Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Kürassier-Regiment Königin (Pommersches) Nr. 2, based in Pasewalk, II. Armee-Korps last of the series of peacetime quality by C.E. Juncker, Berlin, 1915 Maker's stamp: C:E.Juncker, 1915 Ringkragen for the entire Regiment, introduced 1895. Other Ranks' version. Private purchase peaked cap, premitted only for walking-out dress, this example early to mid-war, relatively poor quality materials Kürassier high boots ( so-called "Kanonenröhre" or "Brandenbourgs"), private purchase quality, complete with both spurs, however, the broad leather flaps covering the upper spur straps, are missing. All original leather soles, no horrible post WW2 rubber fitted. Noticeable is the lack of studs or heel irons, as would be found on ordonnance issue. The uppers of the heel have the so-called Sporenleder, as with most cavalry boots of the period, to prevent the spurs slipping under the heels. Kartuschkasten for Kürassiere and Dragoner. Kürassier-Regiment 2 had a slightly smaller medallion, with a flaming grenade to each side left and right. Sword belt as worn by Kürassier- and Dragoner-Regiments So-called "Reservisten-Pallasch", private purchase presentation piece with Regimental inscription and trophy engraving. Shorter and lighter than the regulation weapon.
