      Very nice, very
    2. Another beautiful diploma for the CdG. I think it's 1917 I hope to have a nice framed one in a week or so... All depends on the postal service.
    3. His cap looks silk or cotton. I very much like the photo and would love to own a nice issue gefreiter or NCO tunic.
    4. superb photo group and the last one must be considered rare.
    5. Does anyone have the battle record of pioneer bn nr 30 during ww1?
    6. Would he not have been assigned to the infantry as an artillery liaison officer?
    7. That would be nice too narrow the possibilities. I assume he was most likely a Hauptman or possibly a major.
    8. Hello guys, can this medal bar be ID'd? Just winding as the combination of the Württemberg orders and the Oldenburg medals may give evidence to the owner. I find this a very interesting bar/group

      Impressive to say the least. Those are top quality docs i looked at my CdG in Silver and it does have the mark. Hard to see and harder to photograph. Hopefully it's viewable.

      I don't see a punch on the cross under the suspension ball. It's very ornate in this area but I don't make out any marks. I haven't seen a mark on other areas but not sure the French ever marked crosses anywhere else. ill ll try to take better photos

      Terrific documents. I've been searching for a good looking one for my wall Here are closer images of my Silver CdG
    17. Your collection is wonderful. I love the CdG and French militaria. I'd love to have a few nice CdG documents. I really need to examine mine for any silver marks.

      Very nice, is your silver CdG marked? I don't see maker on mine but it's silver and high quality and detailed
    19. Yeah, seems like mean averaging 68-72 inches tall with extreme narrowness frame. Many are 32-34" chest and the caps won't fit on most 12-13 year old boys these days. May General Pohlmann uniform is rather slim but I estimate he was about 6 foot tall. My Seebatalion tunic isn't large in shoulders but rather large in the waste so I can't tell if he was overweight or barrel chested.
    20. it's a beautiful merit medal awarded during WW1 to a German. The more I study the less I understand awarding of medals and orders rom Turkey to Germans.
    21. Chip looks like a cross between Clint Eastwood and Flip Wilson to me. He ain't really that old. Only 13-14 years older than me and I'm not old. the only tunics that ever come close to fitting me were a few WW2. You have to be a thin man IMO.
