Psshhhh... So, what are you tryin to say? Does anyone have the battle records of the 3 divisions?

Who can prove otherwise? I'm open to others to prove otherwise... Post the combat records of the Marine-Infanterie (Seebataillon) units and we shall see!

This is an oberleutnant tunic with officers Shako with cover for the best unit on the western front during WW1. The Marinekorps Flandern... the ultimate soldiers in WW1

That set is beautiful but 5k is super high. Some I've not seen before but I'm not expert at all on these items. I seriously want a Hessen knot. I have a Saxon knot on my enlisted mans display but not sure it issue or private purchase

Wonderful order bar

Its a lodge coin given to him so he could enter his three dates. My lodge didnt have such but as a york rite mason we were given coins. Looks like he was in Newark Lodge number 7. He didn't enter any dates so it may be hard if you are looking for them.He should have a sheep skin apron. Mine is still in its presentation tube. What they did back when I do not know. My lodge is 714 so he was in a very early lodge

Who is this general wearing 2 classes of the Hohenzollern House Order with swords in high grades?

From the photos it looks like a nice enlisted mans Husar cap. Congrats

Jäger zu Pherde

When did adjutants stop wearing these sashes? I've always wondered but have never learned the answer.

I really like the medal bar and the ww1 era ribbon bar. I'm find of Baden and those are some really nice items.

I too have my copy.

Is he wearing an Adjutants sash? What year did the use of the adjutant sash end?

I was thinking it's more likely since I think the 3rd was stationed in Colmar. its living with a Nr2 tunic

Very nice photo Chris... I'm sitting on the porch drinking a triple scotch on a beautiful 80° sunny day wondering why there isn't much activity on the forum. Summer is nearing and I suppose some people have better things than to participate. I'm reading Sherlock Holmes and maintaining watch over new post. I've seen many nice photos on eBay lately but have lost every one of them...

Do you fellow this this would been an officer's cap of Jäger zu Pferde Nr 3 due to the location of the cap maker?

This is a great thread. Certainly makes one miss Rick L and his insightful comments.

That is an extremely nice photo and would love to have a similar photo. Wouldn't I be nice to know how he faired throughout the war

How'd you manage that? I'm happy for you as that's a major feat.

I'd love to visit but I can't. It would be wonderful to see photos.

Nice, thanks

Would you post images of ribbon bar?

That's a beautiful grand cross neck badge. I've seen the Red Eagle worn a few times around the neck it without the red eagle breast star and wondered. Now I know the reason if they have the Black Eagle Order. it seems to me there would be plenty of Swords of Ring RAO. I need to look at more photos of generals... thanks Linsingen

I did not know this? So, you are saying a man honored with the Black Eagle Order would receive the neck bage of the Red Eagle Order Grand Cross without Breast star? Was is with sword in war time?
