A really nice hat indeed!!! I would think all German manufacture?

Just saw a photo of him pre officer was sold a week before by the same seller.... I will try and get it to add to the boards....

I am happy to be able to put a name to this... Lt. d. res hans bierbach, 10th Company, III batln. He was still an NCO in Mid 1917, promoted to Lt. d. Res before October. The seller has more up, I hope to get some of the letters and reports... unfortunately no Photos... Best Chris

Hi, A nice looking piece... now, if only I could find my telescope!! ;-)

Hi, Imperial postcards can start at 0.50c if the Motive on it is boring. Awards and combat photo Postcards are on the upper end... But there is no shortage of romantic cards for about 1 EUR each. best Chris

Just picked one up... thanks for the tip ;-)

Landsturm from Danzig/Gdansk

Another KO

Wow... that is fantastic!! Do you have any idea how I can get a copy of the book?

3 Skulls??? This guy needs to wake up!!Some Robin porn.....

Hi Jerry, for most bars the medals are original, just remounted to make them more interesting. Having said that, there are more and more copies of "better" imperial awards. If you have a chance before buying, post them for opinion. best Chris

But Scotland Yard is scotland yard no matter where it is isnt it? It does not refer to the building? I think there is alao a problem, all govts try to lower taxes to get elected.... then the voters wonder why the Govt closes things down.... :-)

I like the S+L one!

Hi Jody, Nice, as you say, you dont see these mounted that often...!

nice! what rank did he have WW1?

Can you show anything from his WW1 Service entries?

They call themselves that because the youngest guy there is Rick.... ;-)

Hi, Really nice doc! Are you sure it is for wings? It looks like he has done the theoretical school, ... maybe like the theory in your driving test... but that is still not your license? best Chris

Hi, I dont think it is good. More like a biker piece IMHO. Best Chris

Cant believe it!! Just by coincidence, i found an almost mint copy of the Jäger Regt 3 history.... on amazon !! printed in 1929.... and cost...... EUR25 !!!! I ordered and waited and waited for a mail to come saying "sorry, that item sold months ago..." but it arrived in the mail today!!

I have a very weak spot for 19th Landwehr Division EK1 documents, At some stage in the war they adopted a "patent" style document with the citation for the award.... one of just a handfull of divisions to do this.

Does anyone know if the officers awad was also in non combat version?

Hi, they came from a 1915ish grouping of a Snow Shoe dude... :-) Some Photos, diaries and postcards... unfortunately i missed out on the other bits :-( Here he was sent some stuff from a guy from one of the bavarian batalions... but this went waaaaay to high for me.... http://www.ebay.de/itm/Tagebuch-Erinnerungen-I-bayr-Batl-Steinitzer-Alpenkorps-Tirol-1915-Italien-52-/370811584037?pt=Militaria&hash=item565617be25&nma=true&si=Z%252BzPEspyu4AfKhQYND%252B4Sf%252B0e3Q%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
