    1. Hi, I dont know who owns the Photo at the moment, but Rick owned his scan of it, and he was a key player in sharing, sharing and sharing again when it came to research. I am sure he will not haunt you for continuing that research!
    2. Hi, I am guessing different Criteria? Silver Karl Friedrich for Bravery, the Small gold medal for Service (on the Karl Friedrich ribbon for Military)? Feldwebel duties etc? Both examples I have seen are for Feldwebel, so not really combattant.
    3. For the Infantry-Geschütz Batterie for X-Mas 1917.... a small unit Photoalbum..... 36 Photos all in all.... Pics to follow as I scan them....
    4. This would not be a good battlefield find! http://foreignpolicy.com/2014/01/30/the-littlest-boy/
    5. Hi Chuck, thanks a million, can you help me on the difference between these? small gold merit medal: 1869-1881, 403 1882-1907, 2,400 1908-1918, 1,418 Small gold merit medal on the karl friedrich ribbon for the war of 1870, 6 Small gold merit medal on the karl friedrich ribbon for the china expedition 1902 and southwest africa 1905/06, 4 Small gold merit medal on the karl friedrich ribbon 1908-1918, 395
    6. Hi, It seems Manchaster was not bombed by Zeppelins in 1917 ? Second Question.... does anyone know what medals Georg Jockers recieved during the war? Thanks Chris
    7. Hi, does anyone know if there is a roll for the Württemberg Verdienstkreuz with swords? Thanks Chris
    8. HI, that seems to be logical, I have a private tunic sold by them, I never thought about it but there is no reason why they could not have supplied bayonets. I would guess double marked with the maker as well?
    9. A nice couple of NCO shots including Austrian ribbons, one with sewn ON straps as opposed to sewn in....
    10. Here is a nice one, unfortunately not possible to see the shoulder boards or read which bars are on the ribbon....
    11. Hi, does anyone have a good quality photo of Günther von Pappritz, Military kommander of the Festung Königsberg? Thanks Chris
    12. Hi, according to Bernd Döbel's figures (Thanks Sascha!) there were only about 2600 BMVK3d classes awarded to Non Bavarians.
    13. Hi, If provable it would be a very interesting fact, at the moment it seems to be a very interesting theory. I would be very interested in seeing any backup information as I am sceptical ... it may be correct, but it would be something totally off the wall methinks....
