Hi, I dont think Canadian.... they had a C with a broadarrow in it....

Fantastic! I cannot remember offhand... was von Eichhorn buried there?

The name sounded familier... but was not him... Lennox van Onselen wrote a book called "A Rhapsody in Blue" about the origins of the SAP, printed in 1959... i think he was cape police... maybe a relative...

veeeery nice, I especially like the Hesse bar!!

Hi, its not mine... dont need stuff like that :-)

Pilot qualified chapain ;-) A REAL "Sky pilot" ?

A nice little lot...

Hi, Would they not have to be red? He served 1913-1920 so would he have had a dark blue mantel? Thanks Chris

that is really, really nice!!!!

Unfortunately without a sheath... but maker marked and with abnahmestemple, so an issue piece....

Hi,, patience and lots of looking ;-) Best Chris

See hoe the Minigun is mounted on one side....do you think the wheel chair one spins to the left when it fires, going up like a helicopter and killing everything 360 degrees arounf it ?? It seems like a super weapon!

From the sheer amount... would it not be a mini gun? Surely a m60 does not have that cyclic rate?

AAAArrgghh... what regiment was he in?? Thanks Chris

A couple of the Regts I really like... 88 IR and 87 IR on one tag!!

Well, i am embarased to admit i would never have recognised that as a CD Hinge! :-(

Hi, it is the badge of the Paris Police, there are a nimber of variations, so I am not sure which epoch this is, I think 50s-60s best Chris

Hi, Does anyone have any cases with KMST labels? I need some pics in higher definition... Thanks Chris

Ooooooohhhhh!!!! That is TOO much!!

HI, Yup, I bought the EK1 amd 2 doc a couple of years ago, and then a good friend mentioned he had an alpenkorps doc for sale... As these docs were issued in 1917 or 1918, for an award made in 1914, I assume there was an oversight, and they issued him two, a few months apart. In some Alpenkorps units they avoided this by marking the issuing of the fancy doc in the mans records... i guess they did not in his ;-) Best Chris

Indeed... it is one of the few photos where you can see the W on the sleeve, and also scarce as photos of Rohr himself are to be counted on the fingers of maybe 2 hands. Best Chris
