Hi, have just merged two threads, so some pics may be double....n One was the new thread on Edelweiss, and the really old one.

BTT

Here is an officer of the 10th Jäger.....

There has long been a tendency to try and guess the stamps.... like WW1 EKs with FR as Franck and Reif... totally wild and wrong guess. Best Chris

Hi, which dates was he in the 110 and the 95? Best to post a scan. I am working on some 110 stuff now. All tghe best Chris

I have not seen one yet, but it may have been just as possible to get a white ribbon within the german borders for a woman. I think the numbers would have been so minimal it is difficult to tell. Best Chris

Lets keep this cordial, and avoid gloating. This has been accepted by everyone up until now... including you ;-)

Ahhhh.... OK, I remember now, have not looked at anything RK for years. That is interesting. Best Chris

Not being up on diamonds, give me a hint, what are we looking for? Best Chris

Typical Beamter? You know the game they play when they go into tht eoffice in the morning? First one who moves.... looses! :-)

I think you nailed it.... pity, I was hoping for something rare. Is the 3rd one a Military Service medal for 9 years?

The last 3 are easy... but what is that first one?

Very nice photo indeed! best Chris

Thought this may be of interest.... No idea if wartime or post war....

Hi Leute! es gibt mehrere Diskutionen hier über zeitgenosische Edelweiss, Hier z.B. http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/18932-alpenkorps-headgear-edelweiss/ Hat jemand vielleicht ein Edelweiss aus einem Nachlass der 100% ist? Mfg Chris

Here is an Austrian one, they were worn for a time by certain Alpenkorps units. (see link above) Best Chris

I dont have that Regt History :-( One of the other members may have. What a fantastic bar!!

So.... who is he????? Maybe someone has a photo of him kicking around.

Really good copies go for about GBP300 sold as copies. Herman Historica had one 3 years ago for EUR800 that looked pretty original. This one looks good, but I think without comparing it to a known original... it is a very, very, very difficult call. Best Chris

You Show Off! You owe us all a round of beer....

If the company number is found on the tunic with the shoulder boards... what happens if a guy is transfered to the staff? Should he then just wear a normal crown button with the shoulder board? Thankls Chris

Sorry, I loose track sometimes. i have had a CD from Rick for ages, but a broken CD drive... was only able to get them up now. best Chris

Here up on the site... http://www.kaiserscross.com/286801/407001.html best Chris

Here you go.... a selection up on the site... http://www.kaiserscross.com/69501/407022.html Is there anyone here on the thread who has posted pics that I can use? Thanks Chris

For ages and ages I have been meaning to get up a selection of Photos showing the Alpenkorps Edelweiss being worn.... I have finally made a start today. Please see HERE Harry has left the Dark Continent for a short trip to Iraq, with an article about a Norfolk with the Iraq Levies HERE Another thing I have been meaning to do for ages it get the Photos up of a small selection of german bayonets used by the Schutztruppe in German South West Africa from 1900-1915, that is now finally done HERE
