    1. That's a super nice Kleiner Rock Chris. What was the date of his promotion to lieutenant?
    2. Really, I need to search harder. I for chip, he looks just that actor in that movie...
    3. Was cleaning out my closets looking the the rest of the Polish items I have yet to sell and pulled out all my Finnish tunics. Some have trousers and breeches and most have caps though they're in a box. I thought I'd share for those who like Finnish militaria. I'm very fond of the Finnish Winter War and Continuation War. The Finns fight hard there is not doubt.
    4. Canada! How do I get that stuff across the border. Too bad it wasn't Mexico or I'd have it made.
    5. If you get a cannon I'm gonna be pi$$'d!!! I can't find a machine gun, motor, grenade launcher, etc anywhere and you have half an armory in your basement. Puts be much harder to locate that stuff over hear
    6. Wow, so if I find a Hessen Pickelhaube without its spike it may have been removed it may have been by the soldier himself. Any known photos of this unit at Verdun and without their spikes?
    7. Yes, that's why I'm so proud to own this IR116 uniform. Hessen helmet under the cover. The cover is a little loose so I'd love to find a smaller one. This regiment and the Corp is belonged fought well
    8. Honestly, I feel the best unit would be the one that the German I command or the local army commanders would use for assaults and for breakthroughs by enemy forces. My original intention starting this thread was to get as much information on the battle record of the Seebataillon as possible. So far not much luck... like so many other attempts. Turns out all that come about was a fireball I think IR 115 and 116 did well.
    9. Here's the next "one of the Best units" LGR100
    10. Superb photos with great detail. I had no idea about that rare award.
    11. Yeah, that POS outfit is gone... Don't know why I bought it so its out in the bin and another tunic in its place.
    12. Too late, it's toast. I got rid of it as soon as you and Chip started on your anti marine rant.
    13. Interesting I wasn't aware of the ack of requirements to earn the TWM.
    14. Actually just hoping someone could help me find some good information in English about their wartime efforts. Heck, it's sparse... And, I have yet to learn whether or not a seebatalion officer would have earned Turkish war medal. that old raggedy uniform looks okay
    15. I can't see anything wrong with the writing, I need to study more docs. Why is the date 1916 printed in the top right?
    16. Can a brother get some data on the Seebataillon during the war? I'm about to throw the set in the dumpster. There's not much of any value. I have seen photos of a few officers wearing either the HHO or the Crown order in the button hole.
    17. Well, does anyone know how many PlM, HHO, and GMVK were awarded to members of the Marinekorp Flandern Seebataillon?
    18. Very nice tunic.is that a Bavarian Schützenschnur? i have a question that wonder how many know the answer. When did soldiers stop wearing the dress blue uniform? There was no other dress uniform prior to the Friedensrock. Was the prewar dress still allowed after the Friedensrock of 1915?
    19. No amount of common since can affect my sound and unwavering decision to opine that the Naval Infanterie were superior. So superior in fact that the Allies seldom dared to attack the Naval Infanterie's sector. Oh, I said it... ;-/
    20. Oh Chip, that's the oldest trick in the book. I'm like many young Americans now days whereby facts, evidence, proof, etc., have nothing to do with my reality. And I see no factual evidence that disproves my claim so far... Bwahahaha... Actually, if hard to find anything of value relating to this topic in English. That why I started the thread with the title as most people seem to pass of the subject.
    21. I'm not a fan of 251 divisions... Surely there's better.
