Wow... that is wierd.... although it looks like a period badge. I wonder if the stamps were 2 piece affairs and this was set up after 7 drunken nights?

Hi, I mean the pics of guys with assault rifles and Sniper rifles... stuff that you dont want within reach of a rioter ;-) We need a seperate SWAT thread...

Hi, is it Sterling Silver? Best Chris

I think we are mixing Riot squads and SWAT teams here? :-)

You modern dude you!!! Kindle! I got the paper version...

Wow... thats a killer group!!!!! Nice you were able to save it!

Pretty interesting menue.... I wonder if any of it is "funny stuff" that folks today would look strangely at.... :-)

Interesting, transfered lock stock and Barrel to Landqwehr Infanterie Regiment 39... I guess they issued a new Militärpass....

​Me neither, but the author told me ;-)

I am really glad this is in safe hands :-) The book is a fantastic find!! Best Chris

​Hi, from what i understand it may be the only time they were in Flanders? Best Chris

How do you tell the diffference between the WW1 ones ansd the post WW1 ones for the metal belts?

There are plenty of "kosher" attributed groups (on all levels) , and there are people who believe, dont belive, or out of principal NEVER belive the information that comes with a group... I think each individual group has to be decided on its own merits. For every "Fake" group accepted by a buyer there are probably just as many "real" groups that are split up because the pedigree is not 1000% proved. I personally do not believe the pedigree on this one, but I know I have split groups in the past because the story did not convince me, and on a law of averages, some of them were probably "real" groups... Its a pretty fine line.. Still, I give this one a thumbs down...

... but I am often known to be wrong..... :-)

Some say you would probably perform really badly if you had one.... but i always tell them "Give him a chance!! Maybe he surprises us....."........

"Eric needs a woman" ... is what they say...... ... really badly.....

​Me and the guys have spoken about this in length... we had agreed that was the case months ago!!!

I vaguely remember a French friend talking about a "Cavalry" model, totally different from the Regular one... anyone heard of that?

Here you go... Sturm Abteilung of the 13th RD....

A photo from Reville near Crepion ... making bunkers in the german rear area at Verdun.....

Sorry, I missed this somehow. Thats really fantastic!! Do you only collect the straps or also Photos, Documents, Militärpass etc? I know how hard it is to find a sngle pair of straps when you are looking for a specific Regiment... this is fantastic!!

Hi, thanks Elwyn!

hmmmmm.... veeeeery.... YELLOW! It almost hurts my eyes ;-)

Hi, ich denke Obersturmführer... 1. band ist 100% Polizei Dienstauszeichnung. MfG Chris

​Yo! Nice to see you back! :-)
