I just picked this dish up for $85 on ebay. That's about $20 over the scrap silver value. It's hallmarked 'WMF' with a crescent moon and crown and '800'.
-
Here's my latest piece. Small, but just a cute little guy.
-
And closer still. It's in solid '800' silver.
-
A bit closer......
-
Glenn. Many thanks again. Here's the reason I'm interested............
-
LOL Chris!
-
Thanks Rick. It was a shot in the dark.

And pin stamping. The thing weighs a ton, and the pin has not been replaced.

Back.

Certainly Dave. Here it is. Front.

Does anyone know who was the commander of the 2nd squadron of Kavallerie-Regiment 5 (Stolp) until 30th September 1937 - when he apparently retired or was moved to another posting?

This is fascinating stuff. As a slight aside, does anyone know who was commander of the 2nd Squadron of Kavallerie-Regiment 5 (Stolp) until 30th September 1937 - when he either retired or left for another posting??

Mike. Sorry - I don't know. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the Imperial officers could answer this. If it was the same man in later years, that would be interesting for me. Thanks for posting the picture.

The thing is, I got this item indirectly through eBay! Wonders never cease, eh?
-
And the best bit.
-
Here's the guard star.
-
And the rest.
-
And some more.
-
More officers.
-
Here are some of the officers named on the cup.

Brian. Here is the Wagner mark. I'm also adding some other pictures to show the names of the donor officers. I have no doubt your ancestors knew some of them.
-
Brian. No problem. Just give me 10 minutes or so.
-
Thanks Rick. My knowledge of Imperial stuff is pretty limited, as you can gather.

Thanks again Glenn. I think he was fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on the point of view) that his period of service was a peacetime one. Probably no chance to 'cover himself in glory'.
