Chip Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Robert,Ostfriesische Inf.Rgt.Nr.78. Osnabr?ck. My wife's grandfather was in this regiment (1903-1905) and I collect things from it. I have a number of items that are similar to this, though mine are probably more veteran's pieces. I would think that this would have been privately purchased rather than issued or given out. The era would be 1890s through 1914.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
