Glad to see it arrived since according to the USPS tracking it is in Chicago. Perhaps there is still hope.

Send them to me. I will ensure they all stay together. -
What is even more interesting is this mini badge. The obverse details are the same as the full size badge above. The back is marked D.R.G.M.

Its quite interesting. Here is the badge in question.

Fangs or no fangs. The suspense is killing me. -
Is there an online source for researching German patent filings?

Marked 1917 as well.

Do you have any pics of their mark?
-
Thanks Chip. I believe you can add the MGSSA badge to the list as well.

Anyone ever heard of an insignia/equipment maker or metal working firm by the name of Schorp out of Stuttgart?
-
That is a pretty typical example. I have also seen cases, probably from retail sales outlets.

That's more like it.

Surely you could post more pics...

Thanks Jock. I wonder where the soldbuch and ID tag are today. Probably under a street in Munich.
-
Is there a date on that paper item?
-
Bingo. You're pretty smart for a cannon cocker. This guy might have been in his section but he for sure stood and fought with him until his demise.
-
Nope. The answer lays in an old thread here somewhere.....
-
Close Chris. Paul, spot on. 1 down and one to go.

This was a lucky ebay pick up for me for two reasons. Perhaps someone here can guess why.

Perhaps a form number then?

Can't read the printing in the lower right corner.
