The early straps are interesting as sometimes the piping matches the Landesfarben, but checking the unit locations sometimes it does not. It's still confusing to me.
 
early schoulder straps

Hi Gefolgschaft,
I also have doubts concerning pipings on shoulder straps.
The german collectors are of the opinion that that would match to states (Länder) and they reused the colors of the imperial army (Kaiserlischen Armee).
I think that you already have noticed, that rosettes concerned spiked helmets matched in region.
I also show you some examples of early shoulder straps of my collection.

very nice to see these early straps which are not well represented in any books. Very pleased to see these added to the perminant articles for all to see and research. There are some great collections out there and thanks to this forum we are seeing more and more rarities
 
Paul,
it is always a pleasure to share opinions and it is very enriching.....
Best regards
 
A lot of new information on the straps with dual colored piping has come out with the new Saris book. I will make an in depth explaination of what is said in the book regarding the coloration of the piping and numerals in the article as soon as time permits. It's very interesting.
 
Here are all my early HJ shoulder straps. Difficult to find others and I was not able to do better for 7 years.....LOL

I have seen that set for Bann 162 more than once! They were never offered anywhere when I was collecting or I would have bought them!
