    1. I found the accounts of E. Scherhans and L. von Versen - regarding their Iron Cross award, written in their own words (btw, in 1936 both got also awarded the Hindenburg Cross with swords). If you are still interested, I will post the accounts here.
    2. Andy, are there any names with it? I.m looking for a Lübeck Polizeibeamter by the name of Heinrich Wolf Thanks
    3. A case in point for the old axiom: "With great mustache comes great responsibility" Awesome photo, thanks for showing! .
    4. Here are some images on cardboard taken between 1916 and 1923
    5. I have some "Hartpappe backing" photographs from during and after the war but they all without exception have the photographers studio embossed or printed on the cardboard. Also the cardboard is a different type. The cardboard backing on the eBay photograph is not legit IMO. I believe it is a modern copy.
    6. I think The initials SW or WS are not of a wife to a king or even a Grand-Duke - since the five pearl pointed crown indicates the lowest nobility rank. More likely a gift to an officer with the above initials.
    7. the first heraldic crown (Rangkrone) is a king's crown - the second with the 5 points and pearls is a German nobility crown.
    8. Hallo Walter; Meine Muttersprache ist badisch. Gruss Hardy
    9. because of the huge size - compare with the regular tunic boards
    10. I agree, it does look like Nander but with the short line across the letter it makes me think it could also be Xander. I would research both possibilities.

    12. ... gewidmet von Ihrem ehemaligen Mitarbeiter Willy Müller - august 12, 1916 - 5. Kompanie Infanterie-Regiment 105
    13. Yes! Franz left Chemnitz on March 10, 1915 for the Western Front

    15. For the corners of the Parade Schabracke, perhaps
