Israeli Medals, Badges and Patches
Chris Boonzaier replied to Ingsoc's topic in Middle East & Arab States
I think someone found a link to the Nigerian customs and that was their badge as well. Best Chris -
Hi, It was before your time, way back in the mists of time. The guy ended up getting his money back I think.

EK 1939 1939 EKII "round 3"
Chris Boonzaier replied to Danny70's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Looking good, personally I would toss the flag out and get something more suited to the EK as a centrepiece. Best Chris -
Did you miss that !!! It was a really entertaining thing... I loved the threads of the poor guy in Asia struggling to get his loot back.

Hi Darrel, I dont like it. Maybe Dave Kane can supply one of his fake boxes and Tom Hanson's son can ebay it?
-
I wish I could find something like this laying around... Nice thing to have on the shelf!!

I would guess, wounded with the Leib regt, in hospital, then being sent to the 1st reserve. Best Chris

Bayoswede has the following pic, a guy killed in 1917 with the b.R.I.R.1... Must have been Alpenkorps fofore.... check out the Edelweiss.

Most of the Town guards recieved the medals without clasps. A Transvaal, OFS, or at least CC bar seems to be logical minimum, but maybe they had to have a certain amount of operational activity to qualify? Best Chris

I know little about these, so I need some help here. Pictured with the medal for size. It is of high quality, the silver parts are seperate. Is this an officers quality cap badge, an ORs collar badge, a side cap badge??? Any help appretiated. Thanks Chris

According to Cron, the 29th was REALLY a j?ger regt as it was formed with J?ger Battalions, whereas the 15th had only one J?ger BAtln with assorted odds and sods, so it was a loooong stretch of the imagination when they named it a J?ger Regt.

Hi, I am guessing my guy was wounded badly in August of 1917 and was still back in the ersatzy Batln in June-July of 1918. So he missed the Tammy episode, but does provide some really nice examples of the unit doc. Best Chris

Tony Neal sent this account of his Wifes Grandfathers capture along with some great pics and a shot of his awards. http://www.kaiserscross.com/41815/73201.html

Aha... from that info it seems that Schneider signed the docs... I kept reading "Schweitzer"...

Here is a set of docs to an unusual unit... the "29th Bavarian Infantry Regiment (J?ger Regiment)" So Bavarian that the "Bayernbuch" does not even mention them.

Could it have been friendly artillery?

Its rather Uni-Gonadial in shape....
