Keep them coming, these are fantastic...

Hi, Thanks Chip. do you know who owns this one? I have seen the same style/picture but with different wording as a Generic/non unit specific Annerkennungs Urkunde. I think it was to the 73rd I.R. I guess units could order it with whatever text they wanted.

But Sudan medals (for instance) to Egyptians were named in Arab writing, so i assume it was done there. The Brits must have sent them a pile of the things to name up. Theoretically the same could have happeded with the Egypt medal. They sent them to be named and the odd one was handed out because by the time it got to the unit there was noone able to name them, or they just tossed them to those who were supposed to get them. Sheer supposition on my part, but SOMETHING must have happened...

Agreed... so many medals and papers survive in the family, helmets are seldom kept !

For some reason it looks Japanese to me... No idea why, just a first impression at a glance.

Joghn5813 is looooong gone... but just to fill the hole.... anyone have an idea what medal he was on about?

How about a photo.... I have no idea what this is...

Call me a wiener.... but I did not know that Newfoundland was independant in WW1 .... I think they have a number of "Own" awards...

Because its the weekend and poor chris is not gettin the attention he deserves as the wife watches national Geographic.... allow me to revive may all time favourite Group.... the Cloete one....

So... anyone have any ideas as to why it is worn, ergo.. issued... but without a name?

Cmon Guys.... this should be a hot topic... there are more versions of this than there are ben and Jerrys ice cream.... we have enough Soldiers on the forum who use these things... how about some lessons and photos????

The 88s seem to be flooding the market. I picked up a neutralised one for the old round headed bullet and one modified for the Spitzgeschoss.... what do these cost in the States ?

Maybe "Pistole 24"?

Incredible that anyone came up with the idea to push big bloody blocks of concrete over the ocean ....

Superb !!! I had thought something along those lines but on a list of wounded his name was not to be found.... this fills a gap I had given up on !!

A good copy of the Flamethrower skull? (Tankers? Sturmtruppen?)

Once again, thank you very much as well!! I am still suprised there was no WW1 stuff with the group ....

Hi, its an idea worth looking into, but for the moment I am going to have to look into the photo possibility. I only have the book for a few more days. I have my tripod and camera. As it is just a work where folks look for detailed info on one guy I am hoping the Jpegs are OK. I want to keep it cheap so I can pass them on cheap, it is basically just a case of Info sharing.

Great stuff !!!!! Thank you very much indeed !!!!!

Thats interesting, I never knew of any that had different colors. I will keep an eye open for the others.

I guess its bids by folks just marking it, still has 6 days to go.

Na, EUR5 will do it. I just have to take photos, not like I am having to write or transcribe anything. I hope if I do this, someone else may do a book they have (Regt histories are a good start) and that in the long run we can pool these sources.

And Da ich keine Expertise f?r dieses St?ck habe, findet diese Auktion unter Ausschluss jeglicher Garantie statt.

... ;-) "Getragenes Feldstuck" can be interprated to mean anything basically...... http://cgi.ebay.de/Eichenlaub-mit-Schwerte...1QQcmdZViewItem

Well.... thats tempting fate ;-)
