Hello all, I got a nice photo. It's showing a wehrmacht Heer officer who was a former ww1 pilot. 

Can someone maybe ID him? 

His decorations are:

Iron Cross 2nd class / Hamburg Hanseatic Cross / Brunswick MVK 2nd class  / Mecklenburg MVK 2nd class / FEK / Hungarian WW1 Medal

Iron Cross 1st class / Mecklenburg MVK 1st class / Pilot Badge

Hello all, 

Got this nice photo of a young Leutnant. His name was Willi (Wilhelm?) Heldt. 

Can someone tell me in which unit he was in? 

Greetings

Stefan

Hi my list shows "We" as "Unknown maker" unfortunately, so we may never know

Thanks Alex. I didn't had one of those "We" crosses so it's ok 

After a closer look it looks more like "We"

Hello all, 

I got this nice EK2. It's marked with "We"

Hello all, 

I didn't found many 57er Stick pins around here. I would love to see some - looks like the quality of those are very good.

And another - a 9mm Spange 

I tryed with a magnifying glass

Good day,

A very good question.  The pin looks to be from the pre war era.  But there are so many of these badges it can not remember when it would have been used from memory.  I'll have to look through my files and see what I can find.

Regards,

Gordon

 

OK thank you.

Did you coat them with anything to keep the zinc from continuing to corrode?

--dj--Joe

Yes I coated them with petroleum jelly (Vaseline). 

Dids this also with Zinc dog tags since years and I don't have any new corroded spots

Hello all, 

I have this eagle since long time. Does anybody know if those insignia were produced before 1938 or after 1951? 

It's the large badge not the small collar type.

A number of Years ago I advanced the theory that the official order to issue Preliminary EK docs came at the beginning of 1916, anything done up until then was at unit initiative. My theory was that like after the 1870 war, post war official documents were planned

This was based on the observation of many hundreds of documents and issue dates and the order in 1918 that all documents handed out to date were now to be considered the official document.

This was poo pooed as there was no proof... then Wernitz published the order from 1916 saying that units should issue preliminary documents.... So my theory was confirmed... 

Now this!!!! I think it is the missing link....

I have a Besitz Zeugnis dated 15. November 1916 the document was issued "im Felde". So I don't think that every unit was aware of the official order - or they ignored it. 

Sorry for the bad quality it's already dark here and the light isn't very helpful

Not really furniture, but a miniature for sure.

This well decorated +/- 30 cm high altar.

That's quite impressing!

I never knew that the Schutztruppe in GSWA had their own Puff!! :-)

OH I see what you did here 

Hello all, finally I found a cheap enthronement medal. And it's even marked with an "N" so I could complete the set. 

To what kind of person could such a set belong to? Military? Police? 

Maybe this one fits to. A nice long Bavarian ribbon bar

And the ribbon bar of Vizefeldwebel Peter Puff

Hello, dimensions of the skull? 

Ca. 3,3 x 2,9 cm

No way to definitively know if it's Freikorps or not because these were in use from before WWI through to the 30s by several military and paramilitary organizations.

OK thank you. That's what it thought. Is it a period one? 

The ribbon bar/ bars are way over the top and in my opinion don't make much sense. 

Looks like 9 silver stars (one silver and 3 bronze oak leaf) and 5 soldiers medals (4 bronze oak leaf)

Or donated.

That another good point. 

Hello all, years ago I got this skull. It was part of a larger ww1 related group. 

Thanks. So it's police? I thought it's army related. 

What are your thoughts? Everything good? Why is the Tally silver and not gold? 

Got this nice badge today. Is there a chance to tell if it's period?

It's an officers cap badge, right? 

Today I got this nice Mützenband / Cap Tallie. Includibg a photo of the wearer with his unit.
