What would you say is the most unusual award to find on the bar of a german soldier ? Best Chris

Hi, we have him wounded with the 116 in 1914... but no 116 after that.... It seems he was posted to the 9th Army HQ? A different front, but have a few groups to guys who switched fronts...
-
Ouch... 450 for a single board????
-
It is sold as german, but really cannot place it.... Is it something else? http://www.ebay.de/itm/Steingrauer-Mantel-Kammerstuck-1917-WK1-/271286191709?pt=Militaria&hash=item3f29eac65d

That IS cool, the 116 is reasonably "local" to my german abode. Thanks Dave :-)
-
you minimalist you... lets see!

Anyone else have any Officer verein stuff?
-
The small mailing box is just the right size for 2 awards.....

Hi, The Card was sent with the stamp of "Oberkommando der 9. Armee" in Feb 1915.... only possibility of getting the regt will be from the boards i think....

Hi, there are wooden ones, double ones, and single ones like this for WW1, best Chris

Nah problem, artillery guys love Field Bakeries, its where they are posted once they show they are to gifted to become a gunner.... :-)

The sachsen Altenberg tapferkeits Medaille, apparetly unusual because you HAD to have an EK2 before you got it.... just a couple of thousand awarded, so 4 times rarer than a knights cross.... was mainly just for guys of the I.R. 153... plus some other guys from the Duchy in other regiments... An above average Soldbuch!
-
Its like I said before..... Militärpasses really are a box of chocolates.... I made ther cardinal error of just taking a casual glance and dismissing him because of the Landwehr..... that is a bad thing with tese books
-
I eat my hat... Saxon Altenberg... really rare!
-
The Navy one is pretty cool, he was on a bunch of ships. He did not really serve after the war, it seems they did the book in 1919 to document his service up to his release in November 1918
-
Some guys really like paybooks because they were with the soldier at the front, but the Militärpässer do have more interesting entries.... It is really interesting to see the contents of the books!! The last dude was "just" a ladwehr dude, i did not see anything out of the ordinary
-
Hi, its a paybook, when the guy gets his pay for the month, that month is clipped away... so there is no double dipping ;-)
