Title KuK Cavalry Korps 'tinnie'
Nationality Austrian
Period 1915
Price £30.00

This cap badge, in what appears to be gilding metal, commemorates a cavalry unit, possibly of mixed German and Austrian composition, commanded by General Herberstein. The unit almost certainly served on the Romanian front with General von Mackensen, a Prussian general, in his Armeegruppe, which existed from 18/8/1915-1/1/1916.

There is an Austrian eagle on one side and a German Imperial one on the other. There are unit designations in Roman numerals at the top of the badge. The pin is missing, but otherwise the badge is still quite crisp.

Just to let you know that the bayonets arrived safely this morning and I am extremely happy! They are everything that I had hoped they would be, but better! I am extremely pleased that i purchased them from you. The 1867 Albini ... is an absolute beauty, the blade is immaculate. The other is in fact in far better condition that I had imagined as well. So all in all, I couldn't be happier! Many thanks Chris.

I very much look forward to doing business with you again in the near future.
