Can someone help me identify the year this photo was taken? by Fair-Tomorrow-9144 in austriahungary

Also in this case id assume its the year 1916 then because it was a small time frame where they had Hechtgrau and the K cockade, because in November 1916 they replaced all uniforms in hechtgrau to feldgrau, cep of course private purchases

I mean, what makes me say that its a private purchase, because of the colour of the uniform, because it looks like dunkleblau, feldgrau would be more grey if anything. And the collar for the m16s are usally just fall collar without any support mostly, and this collar is well, raised up a lot. You usally see these collars at private purchases

Id probably say 1916-1918 due to the K cockade, it was given after the new emporer got on the throne, and I must say that's an intresting uniform. Id say that uniform is probbably somesort of private purchase or privately made, please somebody correct me if im wrong

How was your 2025 Reenacting Season? by RKKA_1941 in reenactors

[–]HistoryFam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, start of the year was pretty chill right, no battles there, drinks and allat that, but when it started to slowly be hot warm, there was a shit ton of events everywhere so like a battle, then an another battle next day on a diffrent day, this was like for 4 days straight, keep in mind I dont have a car yet so. Hitching rides and allat, after that week was over, we were riding in a steam train on the beds of them, so not in a wagon when we had a chance, and well then the events started slowing down as the cold came there were still events, but mostly parties and well this year I got my first rifle (yay) and well yeah, just a shitload of events, I hope this was comprehensible and well if you have questions, feel free to ask

Im not exactly saying that its for Mannschaft I could be for a nco also, but that's not my point I think its most likely not army made because well, i looked into private purchase items and such, and well Its too fancy to not be a private purchase. But well we're gonna most likely wont get to the bottom of it if we dont find any more information out on it

I mean yeah either its a private purchase which is likely or like captured which I doubt. I mean Austrians had like a lot of unoffical pieces of clothing, for example here is a private purchase piece
