This one veeeers scarce, an incidiary/smoke grenade, or a Gas Grenade... I have not been able to find much on this....

All Munitions shown have been emptied by folks waaaaay crazier than me! There are no illegal substances in them.

Those are really nice, I imagine you can identify who the F.A.R 111 guy was? or really narrow it down? Best Chris

Hi Larry, I doubt I will finish before I die.... I have about 400 infantry EK docs, but that includes Reserve and landwehr etc. My amin goal is to finish all the bavarian infantry, garde infantry... then work up... but you have to take waht you find, regts like those above, the "high house numbers" existed for a shorter time, ergo, the documents are slightly more scarce... I basically go for any infantry document I see.

Ex Legionnaire killed in Algeria at the beginning of the hostage crisis... 2nd from left....

He has Bavarian buttons so I am guessing 7th Bavarian Feldartillerie?

I have heard opinions over the last XX years... Now the big question... Who WAS Fr?

Hi, Visually they are fantastic, but some of the ugly little ones are immensely interesting from content... I am always torn between the two, then end up buying both kinds when I can ;-)

I bet you find that exact stamp on some Ehrenkreuz... it somehow looks like what i would expect on a HK.

Schroeder in I.R. 160

I always thought the Friedrich August medal was a military only one!!

She is nice, fine lines.

Inside, each tab is stamped...

Here is a nice 1918 model, reissued in WW2 with a WW2 chin strap, but thank god no Decals... It is a really small size... Maker ET, size 60

He was one of the Europeans that served in the rhodesian army.. http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/sniper-kills-french-journalist-in-syrias-aleppo-ngo.aspx?pageID=238&nID=39363&NewsCatID=352

Here is a snaitised biography in English... http://www.cpj.org/2013/01/military-correspondent-yves-debay-killed-in-aleppo.php

Even this style used by Non Bavarians was printed in München... http://www.kaiserscross.com/40029/441101.html

Commendation certificate for patrol work...

Just a black and white one, but also real art...

Same printer for artillery...

The Rare Bavarian Leib Regt document

OK, here are some of the larger multi colored ones.... the same printers that do all the catholic documents, either Bavarian or southern German... The Bavarian 3rd Division is probably the EK doc at its highest art form (Cross just for size).. With its mailing tube

For years thse were pretty dormant, but I now see some dealers with good conditioned M16s for about USD 1 000 !! Is the world going crazy? What is a realistic market value for an M16, and for am M18 in good nick, maybe 95% original paint, and lets saw, without a strap and the three cushions, as that seems par for the course... And what should a set of 3 cusions cost? And what should a strap bring on the open market? My last concious selling of a steel helmet was a decent M16 about a decade ago... a friend said "noone wants these, you can get about DM250 for it... and i did...

They really are the "meanest" of WW1 knives ;-)

Theres a good job to volunteer for... unscrewing fuses on a mine ;-)
