Deutschmeister-Kapelle, J.S.J.W. 117/2

Deutschmeister-Kapelle, J.S.J.W. 117/2

Hello,

Today I would like to show you a new sheet of paper soldiers that I just got yesterday.

It is an Austrian band, the so-called "Deutschmeister Band".

The "Hoch- und Deutschmeister" were an infantry regiment (No. 4) of the Austro-Hungarian Army until 1918, but the band continued to exist after that and still exists today. They still wear this traditional uniform today. That makes it difficult for me to determine whether the soldiers up to 1918 or the later marching band are really being depicted here. The sheet has the number 117/2 and the abbreviation "J.S.J.W." for "Josef Schneider Junior Wien" (Vienna). The figure size is 9cm.

Best wishes,

Andreas
