I find Dr. Gutmann in the Bayern 1914 Militar-Handbuch. Can anyone tell me what units his was with during the war? Any additional info is helpful. Thanks.

one of my favorites

It would be interesting to update the book with new award numbers. Since I published the book I could update it and possible do another reprint with the permission of Kathy Ludvigsen. I see that the book sold for 85 euros. I wonder how many people would be will to buy the book at 50 euros. If you are interested please do a post. If I can get 10 people I may do a reprint of 50. Chris, thanks for doing this post.

Agreed. he is in the 1925 Army RL.

Been there. I had to wait a year and pay double for a Purple Heart group to a man from my hometown. The sell was a bit of a d?ck.

Since it went through Rick's hands that is good enough for me. The discussion here is not that the bar is bad, but only that it is odd and can't be IDed, which is not unusual. Many bars do not conform to regulations and are a personal statement of the wearer.

Thanks.

Does the current German Navy have an officers dagger or sword?

Brian, Congratulations and good luck with sales. Will you have a table at the MAX show for book sales?

If it came from Stogieman then Rick saw it and could not identify the person.

Thanks.

Agreed.

Possible.

A quick look and no match.

That is possible.

I share your concerns.

Thanks for posting these.

I found the below ribbon bar for sale and need some help identifing some of the ribbons. What I can see is: 1. BMV4xKr 2. EK2 3. Unknown 4. Unknown 5. HH 6. something from Baden 7. MMV 8. Hindenburg 9. SWA 10. Centennial What do you think? I am not convinced the bar is good.

Thank you. This site is a very big help!

I believe this is for WWI service. Can anyone give me more information on what it is and what it maybe worth as I am looking to sell it. Thanks.

I will ask the moderator to pin this post in the lounge as that section is the most central.

As we all know Rick was an ardent document collect. With the consent of his Mother Mary Rick’s document collection will be sold on German ebay. The first group will be sold by Daniel Krause and the listings have started today. The listings will take place over the next four to five weeks. The link for the listings is http://www.ebay.de/usr/spiess.de Any questions please feel free to ask. I will update this post when new documents are listed. I will update this post in the lounge forum.

Below are pics of 126 Austrain badges. I think they are cap badges and were given for donations for the war effort. Is this correct? I was told that some are rare. I would like to sell these. Any suggestions where the best place is?

Is this the book printed in 1968 by Dr. Gunther Freiherr von Pechmann?

That is really cool. Thanks for posting all.
