Nigel, but your caps are a bit unusual.

Example of Shirmmuetze:

Hans von Sekt (1926)
*"Gruppenmanöver der 5. und 7.Division in Bayern, Württemberg und Baden. Schöpfer der Reichwehr ab 1924 (100.000 Mann-Heer)."

1932 "Reichswehr feldgrau Uniform mit Löwenkopfsäbel".

Unusual has implications but I'd say that period was unusual....many different fabrications.

S

Speaking of unusual times..........here are a few pictures I have published before showing the provisional reichswehr insignia in its full glory. Note the insignia on the cap, national cockade on the cap band and state cockade above on the crown.

Plus my then and now picture..............

this guy is wearing the same insignia on his cap as those above but this time round in 1933 when the national cockade once again replaced the reichsadler. The other picture is me and my mum.....40 years later,circa 1973, walking through the Roman gate in Trier

What a cultured young man I was !

cheers

Spanday, speaking about the "Early Reichswehr":..

1920 September-October, Döberitz (Infanterie Academy).
Unteroffizier-Korps 9. Kompanie 10. Grenadier-Regiment.

1921, July. "Reichswehr Reserve Übung".
More and more old field caps M17 in wear.

...Yes, and "16. March 1933" returned tricolor.

Date: 17. September 1933 (Manoeuvers).

Reichswehr Generaloberst Hans von Seeckt.

First photo: "1926 Gruppenmanöver der 5. und 7. Division in Bayern, Württemberg und Baden".
"Schöpfer der Reichwehr, Königsbrück Manover". Here he is cheery, happy as a sandboy, smiling.

Second photo: 1934 "Day of Potsdam". He is an elderly man. A few years later he escape from life...

Thank you, Spandau.

If you want, I can post another ebay-photo with Seeckt?

I have more sympathy for this Reichswehr Generaloberst.
