I remember the days when European collectors desired the top hooks, and many US advanced collectors and dealers thought they were fake (I am talking 5-8 years ago. Once the subject was settled, the prices went through the roof.

Using Cron as a huge crutch... Launching the first page dealing with the structure of the army. If you have documents to supply units, this section will hopefully be of interest. http://www.kaiserscross.com/76001/home.html

I dont think it fits in anywhere as a standard unit designation. Maybe they called themselves that internally?

Balck was really a prolific writer after the war. I think I have some other things written by him.

EK 1914 Fake EK doc...
Chris Boonzaier replied to Chris Boonzaier's topic in Germany: All Eras: The Iron Cross
Does ANYONE have a copy of the IT to show the document? Thanks Chris -
Hi, Authorised seems to have been the Fernprechtrupp until 1918 when the Regt staffs and battalions formed their signals guys into their own "Truppen-Nachrichtenzug's". Maybe the designation was not yet formalized when the doc was issued?
-
Hi, Munitions Kolonne are also not part of the Regiments order of battle. All at this stage were centrally numbered (with nothing to do with the regts) and the awards would have been at Korps level. Best Chris

Three Tommies in the Agony of the Somme
Chris Boonzaier replied to lazyschnauzer's topic in Military Art
Very nice work. For some reason (maybe the cloor?) it reminds me of the statue at the Vietnam memorial in Washington. bst Chris -
Just to add some pics from a current Ebay auction... Sold as a "Spangenst?ck", i.e. a period copy purchased for wearing.
-
Hi, but that was not a signals unit designation used in WW1, and definately not at Regt level. At Div level they had Abt, at regt level the signal/telephone men were intergrated into regular units with no independant signal company. Best Chris
