Fritz Posted May 6, 2021 Author Posted May 6, 2021 An unused set of cockades (ca. 33mm) for the Tschako of Regiment 108, presumably from original manufacturer sample card. Extremely hard to find. One of the main manufacturers was Osang in Dresden, however, they may be by Funke & Brüninghaus, as they came with a large collection of other samples. Purchased in 2003, as usual, cockades were missing. To one side is a cardboard immitation of a cockade. Otherwise almost mint and 1915 dated. 4 Quote

FriedrichLindenau Posted September 3, 2021 Posted September 3, 2021 Hello Fritz,you've got quite the nice collection of uniforms. I actually live in Saxony and was interested to know if you do too. Or if not what made you collect saxon Uniforms. On a different note i was wondering if you happen to be selling some uniforms? 3 Quote
Fritz Posted September 6, 2021 Author Posted September 6, 2021 Not for sale. These items emerged on the market around about 1990, vor und nach der Wende - uniforms are getting too hard to find nowadays. I collect all the German states. I used to live in Ostberlin, but moved back to the west nearly 20 years ago. There are a few bigger militaria dealers and auction houses in some of the bigger cities, they get an occasional good turnover in uniforms, but getting very expensive now. I started collecting in the mid 1960s, and even then things were hard to find. It takes years to build up a collection. You can still find a lot of items through internet im In- und Ausland. Abgeben ist nichts, habe keine Lust wieder von vorne anzufangen! Es gibt einen Beitrag über Unformen und Kopfbedeckungen der sächsischen Artillerie, schon gesehen? 3 Quote
JamesT Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 Hello Is this button for wear on a Saxon collar? As you can see it is marked Osang Dresden to the rear. It is 25mm in diameter. Is it possible to date? The metal is white and polished. Many thanks 4 Quote

Sven Kuczyk Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 Dieser Rock wurde bei der Fussartillerie getragen. Er besitzt kein Monogramm und deutsche Aufschläge. Gruß aus Leipzig Sven 4 Quote
Kenny Andrew Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 welcome to the forum Sven, translation to English This skirt was worn by the foot artillery. It has no monogram and German surcharges. Greetings from Leipzig Sven 3 Quote
Sven Kuczyk Posted July 19, 2024 Posted July 19, 2024 Many thanks for accepting me in the group. Best regards from Leipzig / Saxony Sven K. 4 Quote
Fritz Posted July 22, 2024 Author Posted July 22, 2024 Der Rock wurde urspünglich für das Fußartillerie-Regt.12 angefertigt, der Träger wurde wohl zu Feldartillerie-Regt.12 versetzt, die Schulterklappen sind zeitgenössisch eingenäht worden, jedoch ohne weitere Veränderungen. Es muß heißen Tunic, not Skirt. 3 Quote
Kenny Andrew Posted July 22, 2024 Posted July 22, 2024 Translation, sorry the skirt was my mistake Sven actually said Rock The tunic was originally made for the Foot Artillery Regt.12, the strap was probably transferred to the Field Artillery Regt.12, the shoulder boards were sewn in at the time, but without any further changes. 3 Quote
Fritz Posted July 22, 2024 Author Posted July 22, 2024 Rock is the correct word, means tunic or skirt. Surcharges is wrong, Aufschläge means in this case, Facings. 3 Quote
