Thanks, good info. 
 

With wartime collar lace matt gold piped white ( according Knotel )

v Perlet , thanks for your intervention ! I must add that due to shortages of metal some Koppelschlosse were made of Magnesium ,very light

Jurgen Fritz, German Koppeln in the XX Century varied enormously in quality and duration according to the type of leather available to manufacture it . when a raw hide is tanned the final product is at least of three categories acording if comes from the back of the animal ,the flanks or the limbs , that determines the thickness and endurance , apart, usually the tanned piece is cut in two portions the upper the best one the lower the second class . Germany suffered during WW1 shortages of good quality leather , and again in WW2 then, lower quality leather was employed . another consideration is the cost , the DDR NVA employed a mid quality leather for their Koppeln , inclusive thats of the officers . 

It looks clearly as a national pride badge , In WW1 Germany and three allies against virtually the rest of the World 

I said : the lion pattern is Scottish , I dont think in a sporran one 

Good Luck with your search !

Those were ! but they were more and displayed into a more luminous room .  Thank You !

In the Huis Doorn were at least in 1993 many uniforms of William II mostly of the 1915 Kunftige Friedensuniform pattern that is basically Field Grey with coloured cuffs and collars & bright buttons 

The Leutnant in the first photo wears surprisingly a NCO mutze . the colour of the collar patchs and piping could be the Golden Brown of the Nachrichten truppen ,the Badge on his left breast is the Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen .

With a deep sigh ! A nice piece and in good condition

A Rich Booty ! Maxim Sokolov, 2 Colt potato digger and surprisingly a Austrian Schwarzlose

The lion is definitively Scottish pattern

Perhaps , 241st bataillon ,Canadian scottish Borderers , Cap Badge

Stumbled across this while site seeing…. I see many things that lean towards something else

Oberstleutnant in the General Staff ,kunftige friedensuniform 1915

My Pleasure Stuka ! a hard search indeed but that will raise up the value of the trumpet 

Happy New Year !

Kaserne trumpet or more probably the Trumpet of the Regimentschef Staff Trumpeter . In either case a valuable piece. Perhaps if one could find the Regimental logbook during WW1 it could be registered the loss of the trumpet 

I  must congratulate and Thanks all of you dear Fellows for your posts about Argentine medals awarded during the War in the Southern Atlantic Operations Theater . nice collections 

Typical German Belt Buckle but without device 

Servitore !

Hi Bayern,

 

Thank you

I am interested to know what is the Russian meaning of the world translated  into English

I have not a Russian Dictionary, but I guess that Liadunka means little pouch

It appears Theodor Duesterberg was a general staff officer.  Is this correct?

Hello , Lieutenant Colonel Duesterberg served during the First World war in the Kriegsministerium , he was Chief of the Verbuendete Armys Section. in the picture he wears the gold kragenlitze of the officers seconded to the War Ministry

If you looks well the litze,you can note the Blumenmuster pattern identical to those of the General staff but in gold instead of silver

Well , perhaps going through his passes you can discover something 

Yes bolewt ,your badge, good quality one ! Oberheizer Esselmann , did you know if he completed the training and become reserve officer ? engineer officer 

Liadunka is cartridge pouch
