Hi grassi,

Correct answer, so over to you! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austria%E2%80%93Hungary
regards Robb

Thanks Robb!

Next question: I am looking for a famous revolutionary who came in 1848 from Leipzig / Frankfurt am Main to Vienna.
He died soon after.

Best regards

So... let's say it's Robert Blum.

Yes, it was the famous Robert Blum!
You are right - over to you, Grisu!

Best regards

grassi

Thanks.

Which uniform did Emperor Franz Joseph allegedly wear on the day he 'met' János Libényi?

http://text.habsburger.net/module/gefae ... mage_large

May be (green attila) CaC of 4th Ulen Reg or Garde-Reiter Esqudron (green attila with red fur)?

Fabulous work, a-h!

In Joseph von Ettenreich's eyewitness account, it is indeed stated that Franz Joseph wore a uhlan uniform. As regards the specifications you offer, I cannot say whether they're correct, but I'm tempted to believe that you know what you were talking about.

Over to you. Don't make it too difficult...

The ulans oficierc by Richard Knoetel (but attila with black fur):



...and gardereiter in winter dress (attila with red fur):



Ma by red fur was mistake of painter?

Very enlightening pictures for a uniform dabbler like me.

It's your turn to ask a quiz question, a-h.

1. What ball is that lieutenant on the waistbelt?

2) What the edged weapon with him?

1) canteen / water bottle

2) dagger

(I know, that's not even a long shot. )

No.

1) Bulgarian handgranate "Macedonia":


2) Special short sword M.1907 for CO of Landwehr Mountain troops:

Thanks for that, a-h. It's still your turn for another question.

OK! Who was this men?

That's an easy one for grassi, Robb, Karl, pikeshot1600, Frech and the other regulars of this quiz.

(But not for me.... )
