    1. I found the one bottom left there all over the place, very heavily faked, not sure what it is....
    2. ... I have been looking for one of these latewar zink ones for ages..... Below are other kinds as well, does anyone have any opinions on the black ones ? I think it is good, but some collectors say postwar? 2 3 4 5
    3. I was very happy to get this... more info to the man here..... Nice München Maker....
    4. I have managed to get his large Ribbon bar... link to follow...
    5. Fantastic! The Corps of Guides somehow looks like German cavalry!!
    6. Sorry, I missed this! Looks OK, but details are faded, it depends on the price....
    7. Harry has a fantastic Side Show detailing the Japanese Advance towards Kohima in 1944 An addition to the “Leiber Ring” article showing a Pre War Commercial Ring by the firm Deschler in München A collection of German Feldpost parcels from WW1, An unusual selection featuring the various ways used to send food parcels to the soldiers at the front. The Feldpost stuff is very interesting if you have always just thought of Letters when you heard Feldpost...
    8. The Leib Regt Histolry says a Lions Head for the offirers ring and a ILR mongram on the inside. We would need clear photos of rings worn by Epp to maybe see one? Or ferdinand schörner
    9. Hi, a nice ring, but a commercial prewar ring made by Deschler ... before the war it was known as a "Leiberring" as well... see here at the bottom of the page.... http://kaiserscross.com/69501/566501.html
    10. Hi, He got the manschaftsring in Jan 1919, but is also on the list for the officers ring, recuieved 1920. I wish i could find a photo of the officers ring!!
    11. Very nice, I have my wifes great grandfathers Saxon awards, unfortunately the docs were lost long ago...
    12. Hi Andreas! Jup, the world record price unfortunately, but I would have gone over bodies to get it ;-) Best Chris
    13. Hi, from the source, I dont think this has ever been in collectors hands, and it does not seem messed with.... is the combination possible??
    14. Hi, I just cannot decide what the best document in this group is......
    15. I am no expert, but the haube looks pretty "Parts'y" ? I do like the hat though... alot!!! :-)
    16. Really nice, that is a really good price, even in that condition.
    17. Hi, awarded on the 8th of November 1918, unfortunately I do not have a photo of him :-(
    18. Hi, Its interesting to see the Schutztrupp Bandollier fully addapted for the SA forces or SAP post WW1. The little Buckle where the Bayonet Frog has been adapted for the Lee Enfield Bayonet for instance. Best Chris
    19. The infuriating side (not related to this) is the difference between how buyers and sellers are treated.... I bought a Telescope some years ago.... the seller was not happy with the price and refused to sell.... I complained to ebay, they said "its his item, he can decide, my only recourse would be to go to small claims court." On the ebay side, the only sanction would be my negative comment. However, if I bought an item, then decided I did not want it and did not pay, then I would get an official Ebay warning. I left a negative comment.... but this was erased by ebay. Having said that, I have had many, many, many good transactions..... 1% have been bad.....
