    1. Hi, i am guessing he was released from the army before the Wound badge was created... in the years after the war noone was interested... only at the beginning of the 1930s , when folks in Germany started "uniforming up" again, that many applied for the wound badge... I have a few groups with Wound badges issued in the 1930s whwn the guys needed them for SA or NSKK or whatever uniforms..
    2. Unfortunately in the group photo where his Edelweiss is visible there is a blemish on the Photo
    3. I just picked up this small group... he fought in the Alps, probably Verdun then Romania....
    4. Hi, I would not have a problem with it... seems just to be the finish worn off?
    5. Here is something on him.... http://www.kaiserscross.com/40047/489601.html The book Glenn mentioned is really good....
    6. That is one of the most fantastic documents I have seen. I would go over bodies for something like that... amazing research potential!! I am green with envy!
    7. Very nice indeed... I wonder when it became the Unit Badge as opposed to a distiction?
    8. Wow... other than a bavarian Jäger, that would have been a regiment on the top of my list!!
    9. A very nice bit of headgear... would go perfectly with the Bavarian Bluse I do not yet have.... :-)
    10. "efficient and irreproachable service"...... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...... ;-)
    11. Thats not an ISSUE... it is simply being prepared.... you never know when you will need one.... ;-)
    12. Hi, Does anyone have any WW1 U-Boot EK award docs to show? Thanks Chris
    13. Hi, This just arrived today... are there many baggie variations?
    14. I would give you a cold cup of coffee for it....
    15. Nice1... what are those round ones on the right?
    16. Hi, I am not so sure either way... but when you take into account that the Seitengewehr M84/98 already existed... why make another wooden handeled bayonet? The Ersatz were cheap and chearful ersatz for a "real" bayonet... but the SG14 was as much work as a 84/98.... why bother to make them? Best Chris
    17. Hi, A German Bayonet site. Have no idea if that is correct, but they do break the regular pattern....
