Hi Gents i have this incomplete photo album. I know the most juicy photos have been removed. I was interested in stopping its deconstruction. I like that the photos have annotations and some haven’t been removed so who knows what they say. i don’t know if the album itself is that old however the photo mounts are brittle and surely of some age. its not something I would usually buy but I was annoyed it was being broken up and the photos being sold for 2quid each. ——:—-//- So Gents, if I may, I’m curious if anyone could tell me if there is anything to know of the man named in the death notice please? Thanks tony edit hi hucks216 i bought this album from the same person as some of these other photos because of your comment on the other post... you are so right.

Tank masks on eBay....??
Farkas replied to Farkas's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Hi gents ive just been reading a post called ‘fakes’ about Allied AVM. Ebay was mentioned more than once. it reminded me of a seller who has sold literally hundreds of ‘flachettes’.... when I searched I found him - flachettes for sale currently of course and guess what else... Another tank mask...... For the record... I’ve no idea if I’m right or wrong and I’ve not reported this fella. but for sure.... Ebay likes: offshore tax quoting ‘buyer beware’ ignoring reports of fraud etc etc. tony ——//—- Ps prices are getting lower as more people realise.... -
Hi Gents Photo card of ‘musikcorps’ 8, IR107 Card written 4/12/01 i think it has those shown listed on it..... and Leib-Grenad.-Regts dated 16/12/07 tony ——-///-/——- hi GreyC and Bayern, Thanks again again and again both. you both are very kind with your time and I never take it for granted.... I had wondered what headwear the man on the left was wearing - I didn’t think of a tschako cover. Given the date I guess he wouldn’t have known war was round the corner and that he would have been back in uniform before long.... regards tony

Hi Gents I had actually put these here together because 3 had the numbers on the collar tabs and #3 belongs with #1... i was going to say what I thought they were but just couldn’t decide However I thought (!) #1 was 267 - but see the 1 now.... I was sure #2 was 135 I thought #4 was 255 or 235 So today.... I agree #1 is 261 2 is 136 or 236 3 I now think is 253 or 255 I’ll probably see different tomorrow tony

help with cap badges
Farkas replied to Asil76's topic in Great Britain: Militaria: Badges, Uniforms & Equipment
Hi Asil76 I feel your pain. It’s a real downer but.... Perhaps you could share pics of the other 3? you never know, they may be good.... tony -
Hi gents, Bayern, GreyC thanks for the answers.... So I’m now guessing that the note in the centre was added later. An expansion of the original smaller note at the bottom. That would explain the date being off? The bottom reads... Kaiseradler chemialize* Hohenzollern * chem abbrev above it what is the middle word please? thanks gents tony tony

Hi 1812 Overture i believe green marksmanship awards were issued to Jägertruppe. Certainly green wool balls but I’m not sure if the colour of the lanyard/rope was also green. Also I believe green was issued to pioneers but for skills other than marksmanship. Love the pictures as always cheers tony

Hi Gents This is a mounted photo of the Kaisers yacht Hohenzollern... Nice pencil annotation on the rear..... Gents, I read the date as either 1870 or 1876? However... Googled it just now and as you can see below it says in service 1878 - 1918. So seems to be an early picture... Hope you like it tony
