      I think there is a Lieber dogtag in this lot:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOTx10-German-ID-Badge-Dog-tag-WW1/254205582316?hash=item3b2fd55bec:g:GnoAAOSw9ZtcurBD

        Hi, thanks for the heads up... Nice tags, but I think it is Landwehr.

      He could have been a front fighter in WW1. He just didn't earn any awards. Maybe a young draftee that showed up in the final months only to be part of the retreat.

      Perhaps he was the most uninteresting man in WW1.

      I would call it more probable that the hindy in not correct. It indicates he was a frontline soldier yet didn't earn anything else the entire war? And no long service medal? You would see lots of bars like this for the 1870/1 crowd but not for the WW1 guys.

      I think it might have had a Franco-Prussian War commemorative vice the Hindy.

      Apparently it is for sale again????

      It is a nice looking award.

      I love to see groupings that have stayed together all these years.

      I think that direct hit/penetration by a large caliber shell might have had something to do with it.

      Very nice documents. I assume the guy in the pics is the recipient of the first doc?

      Nice displays.

      Nice to see that it has stayed together all these years.

      A very nice bar.

      Well earned and well worn.

      The Naval Woundbadge document?
    17. dond
      Couldn't that last ribbon be for a Mecklenburg LS medal?

      Nice series of photos showing early trenching efforts prior to the more fully developed defensive positions. One question, When did the metal trench shields come into use or were they pre-war items put to new use?

      Thanks.

      What was the date of the award? Nice maroon case.
    21. dond
      First a document and now a bar. I wonder how many people said it was a put together.....
    22. dond
      Very nice. Anything else with it? Soldbuch, docs, awards?
    23. dond
      Yes, it is mine. Marked "S" on the bottom arm.
    24. dond
      Now all you need is one of these.
