EK 1914 Meybauer screwback
Chris Boonzaier replied to tiwaz99's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Here is a 900 one, but the plate is not silver....
-
He was nice enough to enter his full record on the back of his EK2 doc.... and it seems a pretty long stretch to have claimed those bars, to a certain extent he claimed bars for areas he had just passed through...
-
The 7 bars correspond to these.....
-
Notice he is wearing a HK without swords, although he was awarded one with swords...
-
First of..... our Sonderführer
-
I assume they corresponded to the rifle number? I think there were probably big gaps in the numbers series, and they in no way reflect how many bayonets were actually in DSWA. Best Chris

Hi, Does noone have any thoughts on these crosses? Best Chris -
Hi, Otto was in the Garde grenadiere Regt 2 in WW1, then a Major in Berlin in WW2... Does anyone have anything more on him? Especially WW1 service. He got his EK2 in late 1917, so he may have missed the beginning of the war...

France Foreign Legion going overboard with insignia !
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in France
I guess when he salutes his fingers point to the grenade next to his eyebrow. I knew a guy in the legion that had his national flag there. -

Mixed Unknown German stuff....
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: Post 1945: Bundesrepublik & DDR
Hi, both on the left are postwar bavarian shooting association badges it seems. Thanks for the tip for top right... it looked a bit like a Segeway (?) roller..... -
There is no date as such, but Jeremie, our caving friend is a bit of a specialist on these and dates it wartime. He has unclipped a wire in the dynamoes in his... just incase... apparently this thing would have the same effect as viagra if you shock yourself with it.
-
Does anyone have any idea what this lot is? I think 2 of what may be bavarian Sport Schutzen Bund? worth nothing. The one with wheels looks like the thing Craig Gottlieb rides around at shows... The bird is maybe a WHW thing?
-
Here is a German box of joy... when wound up it produces a 3000v charge, enough to make up to 100 detonators go BOOM! with one flick of a switch.....

Maybe 189.50 ?
