Had a look at all my police books....cannot find it

Great info many thanks

Yes originally a coin but some made them into medals

One of mine

Very interesting, some of this stuff is in our collections...

Not a masonic item I have ever seen, however in esoteric thought both the skull and laurel leaves figure heavily, could be one of the hundreds of secret organisations that came out of Europe from the 1600's to present day...that said wonderful piece!!

Badly beat up but complete 1878 dated 5.Garde-Regiment zu Fuß tunic, this is my winter restoration project, I have managed to get some original cotton and will start on the large tear on the front......however I am not sure on the button holes, and replacing the cotton holding the button (effectively replacing all the old brown cotton) think it will look better with blue cotton but welcome your thoughts. PS the epaulettes have in my opinion been taken of and put back as they do not sit correctly.....

Been looking for a good picture for an age.....must be some out there??

Thanks Chris, trouble is they are big........so you need room, but if you can find a way to display them, large folder maybe?

Cheers Robin, just got to find a badge!!

Max Ruf, this is a nice one with original photo and medals (showing him wearing the medals) as well as how he won the awards, Max was another Verdun veteran serving in 1918

These can still be found relatively cheap on internet auction sites....they offer a wonderful source of information as well a photo.....I only have two, love to see yours..... First is Karl Krizenberger, Alpenkorps, 1st Jager Battalion, according to his records he was wounded at Verdun on the 9/June/1916

Here are some new pictures.....I have cropped them for obvious reasons.....enjoy 1st is Minenwerfer Sturmdetachment Heuschkel 2nd is unknown

Very very nice passes........perhaps a new thread to see what FK documents are out there?

Another one of mine....never did find out what the arm badge was......?
