Hi, I have got some photos with soldiers in the trench. Have a look. I love the photos you post. Christophe

Hi Have you got more papers from those men, like Kriegsranglisten etc. Nice group. Regards Christophe

It's a great news. Thanks Rick And Solomon for your help and your time you spend to help us. I just want to know how a Prince could wear only a four ribbon bar including iron cross 2nd cl. Probably he had got several ribbon bars and I have the chance to buy one of them. Just for information, who can receive the Lippe throne medal from 1905 ? This man had to belong to IR Nr. 55 ? May be in the statut there is something to explain that. Thanks for your help Regards Christophe

Hi A new add. An interresting picture of an officer with cross for Heroic Deed. Solomon told me about the buttonhol. There is no iron cross ribbon, only the Lippe cross of merit. Interresting photo. Regards Christophe

Hi Very nice items. Like Les said, the Dossenbach's Pour le M?rite looks strange. May be more close up will be necessary. The Pourle M?rite is not my speciality. Does P. Jackson has got more items from Dossenbach like the Ordenspange ? Regards Christophe

Hi Heiko, A beautiful treasur you find here. The X are beautiful It's the first time I see such swords for this knight cross. It seems to be the swords for the Ernesine knight cross. Why this ribbon bar is not in my collection Regards Christophe

Hi, Please find one ribbon bar with good ribbon of Heinrich des L?wen. Regards Christophe

Very nice Dond. The enameled look perfect. A very beautiful cross with box. Lucky man Christophe

Hi, Remember if you want to preserve your paper collectioin. No humidity, no sun light only artificial (it's better), a constant temperature and your papers will live a very long life. There is no miracle, if people don't do this, all the collection will be damaged. I remember those words when I worked in a Museum when I was young. Regards Christophe

Hi, Many thanks for your info. I have the chance to buy them for a very low price. I was there and these cartrigdes call me. Regards Christophe

Hi The seller told me that this bullet was from Reichsmarine. Thanks for your comments. Don't hesitate to show your bullets. Regards Christophe

Some close up of the back of the bullet

Hi everybody, I found recently the german bullet called "truncated bullet" due to the form. Do you see such bullets. Or if so, can you give me till when they were produced. have a look Best regards Christophe

Close up of the hallmark

Hi everybody, Recently I have the chance to buy a german Luger holster with one key inside. I can't believe when I saw the price. I think, the seller can't sell this holster for this low price. And yes I bought it. The holster is not in good condition but the hallmark is nice I just want to know if someone can confirm the hallmark on the key. I suppose it is for Erfurt, but I can't find it in my archive. So may be someone has the clue. I will post several photos of my key. Thanks for your help Regards Christophe

Hi, To preserve my collection, I have put them on a room without windows. It's not a problem for me to word with artificial light but it's better for my collection. With this all of my ribbon bars are preserved from "sunlights' attack" . I know how it's difficult to have only a room for the collection, but I have this chance with my new house. Regards Christophe
