I wonder if there is a list of his subjects anywhere? I never thunk of that before but like you say probably not, although for my eye it is close. Still, better in my collection than up the chimney at the kraftwerk!

Odulf,
Nice death cards if one can say that in the same sentence? Just sounds wrong!

Alex,
I would think so since the reverse is so rusty and you can definately see it on the right as you look.
I know it is nothing fancy but it was cheep and cheerful.
A bit of fun!

What else is on it in terms of marking on the liner?
I must say I have never had an original in my hand and don't think most folk have either, that includes some of the the self proclamed experts too.
What do you think of it compared to what is online, depending on what you choose to believe.
It really is a minefield, I hope it pans out ok for you.
Not really my bag though!
Best Regards

Uwe,
I had it in my head that it was on a volunteer basis for women. I stand corrected then. Thankyou.
What do you think of the post card and her picture, in particular the one on her pass?
I guess we would never know but she is pretty close to the study on the Willrich?

Sorry, I lowered the tone with too much info.

Very true, sadly no flugbuch found in the skip.

No not there sadly, might have been missed as this was a container find.

I know the feeling, our 'deep latrine' at Basra Airport had very few floaters for a while, the whole Battery went down with the severe squirts. It was unpleasant to say the least! But not as bad as he had!

Andreas,
It looks a bit amaturish in construction, perhaps a film prop or for a local uniformed band or such like?

It is from the local area North of Soltau, specific area I don't know.

Bayern,
It is rayon at the reverse for sure, the red also has a bit of a sheen to it too the white is cotton probably. Here are som more pics best I can do, Although basic in design it has been 'complexley' engineered as per Germans habit! Note the multi piece construction of the red at the base.
A couple more

Good job with the paint removal!

Odulf,
There were a load of more fancy ones all gold embroidered colourful etc. The base colour is olive green material of the rayon type used in late war jacket linings. The red front with basic cross is very simple compared to the others, I wish I had taken them now! In contrast this is somewhat boring!
I was also thinking could be post war Bund or the likes?
I am afraid I have little knowledge of religion as previously stated and will no doubt be going to hell.
Bayern,
Would you think it is for military use in this basic design?
Cheers
Rich

I pulled this one out of a bin, I think it is OK but not as good as ours were (3 RHA), I remember that a demand for new 'tin Soldier' uniform was placed and they received the 'new uniforms' from UK (Woolich) and they were pre WW1 dated, the first job was to remove the original buttons and replace them with staybright sheit! I kept a handfull of the original buttons somewhere.

Bernhard,
You have that unique presence, you were there and you remember, I find that in itself facinating, I would enjoy a beer or two in your presence just to listen to what you have experienced. It is a shame 'the pond' is in the way. I remember our S6 and then S10 mask but they have a new fandangled mask now. I am also imune-ish to CS, it never bothered me that much compaired to others. Handy if I ever find myself in a riot anywhere!

Stewy,
It is what it is and the price was right as a gift.
I understand there are now a whole lot of folk that just collect WBs?
I am still hoping he is going to toss me a RK one day! Its good to dream!

Tony,
I pulled a 36gram fine gold chain out the other day but for sheer stupidity the best was 20 x 50Euro notes that someone paid to skip! Naturally the wife taxed me on the latter!
