Aparrently the SG14 bayonets were probably meant for export, but were taken into the army in 1914 due to shortages...

Indeed... a man who was a real exploerer!!

Here is one to the 106th Infantry Regiment, Dresden Maker, the buckle has come off and needs to be resewn....

When he was released, he seems to have been OK for office work....

a bullet through the Ribs, Kidneys and spine.... lay 2 days in the field until he goto to hospital.... lots of hospital time....

Then the Hessen and Wound....

This is an interesting group... it seems he was awarded the EK2... probably in error... as you can see, the dates refer not to when the document was signed, but the actual award.... I have no idea why this award to a Hessen man was done by the Württemberger...

Really strange ... the dead to wounded proportions....

Here you go... a 10th Jäger man wearing one.....

Hi, thats interesting! He was attached to my Division... only souvenier i got at Al Salmaan was a gas mask and some goodies I had to throw away before we left Iraq... Here are some good pics... http://www.google.de/imgres?start=232&client=firefox-a&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla%3Ade%3Aofficial&channel=sb&biw=1152&bih=734&tbm=isch&tbnid=R3Olr4FKMmlQ_M%3A&imgrefurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.elgrancapitan.org%2Fforo%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ft%3D14433&docid=hl2chPeMcMeckM&imgurl=http%3A%2F%2Fimg237.imageshack.us%2Fimg237%2F7073%2Fdag9bc6.png&w=800&h=541&ei=1i0DU7aCIYSItQa9z4DwCg&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=215&page=11&ndsp=26&ved=0CIkBEK0DMCw4yAE

Very nice indeed!

I think they usually have the AE stamp on the back

Hi, I am definatly not an expert on these... here is a Portuguese one.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Model-1935-GNR-Portuguese-National-Police-Luger-Two-Mag-Pouch-Marked-A-E-/251418006861?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a89ae554d&nma=true&si=ce08iaYjQTomOdNL9LopQhuyBEk%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Jägerbüchse M. 71 Gewehr M 71 Gewehr 71 / 84 Gewehr 88 very "Old School" ;-) Very nice indeed!!

Hi, can someone give a basic lesson on those double magazine pouches? Apparently most on the market are Portuguese, sometimes restamped to fool collectors?

Very nice setup... now you need to go a few steps further and add P08, gasmask etc...

I guess it may be, he must just have got his nose in in the last second... Vereidigt on the 19th October 1918... and still managed to get to the front and get wounded...

I am wondering if this guy awarded himself the EK2 ?

Here you go ;-)

Jup, try and get everything 100% moth free, but this was so nice I went ahead... has a few tiny moth nips, but I can overlook them....

Fantastic, do you have a name for the owner?

Hi, I went for it, I was looking for a set like this for ages... I am assuming he was transfered... the 8? bullion Regt numbers were removed and metal "2"s added. I am assuming a wartime transfer, The Regt that were originally on the collars are the same as on the back of most of its buttons.

A fantastic group indeed !

This may be my most interesting one

Just picked up this small group of a man who was attatched to the Sturmkomp. of the 77th Reserve Division... A nice find :-), especially the unit designation on the EK doc...
