Hello!

A nice tunic! Thanks for showing!

Until july 1915 the Train-formatzions had the number of the Train-Bataillon upon the shoulder straps (Garde and 1-21 and 3 bavarians). Since July 21, 1915 they had to wear the numbers of the division. Since April 21, 1917 the unites recieved their own numbers.

So here we have a Train column of the 89th Inf.Div. (until summer 1915), or if the tunic is from after april 1917 a Train column N°89.

A Train-column with that number could be a supply column, supply park, depot supply column, remount depot, field bakery column, field butchery column or equal unizs of the lines of communication

Thank you

I always enjoy learning about support units.

Hello,

heres a a very interesting example of a simplified tunic from around 1915 

train branch

I’m still confused but grateful for the contribution and effort to explain.

I’m looking for literature in English that explains the rank Generaloberst mdR GFM. Why not just promote the person to Generalfeldmarshall?

I like it.

It’s not an original. Hopefully you are successful getting a refund. If you used a cc you can dispute the purchase. 

Theres probably little channce the seller really thought it to be real

That EK does show lots of character. Wonderful 

I’d love to see an example

I’m amazed how you guys ID these medals...

ive always loved these awards since the day I saw all classes displayed for sell in a dealer’s shop in Nuremberg in 1988. I couldn’t afford anything but the lower classes. It took years for me to acquire several higher grades and im thrilled to own an MVO2, MVO3, MVO4mS, MVO4, MVK2, MVK3mS, MVK3. I would love to find an MVK1 sometime.

Very nice. This is a late production of Hemmerle (1918) with silver guilt medaillon. I have never seen blue paper.
Normally this cross was  in a red paperbox. The first class was awarded to the rank Feldwebel-Leutnant.

Hi, it an MVK1 was awarded to a Feldwebel-Luetnant then was the MVK1 with Cross for an Offiziersstellvertreter? I’ve never fully understood the awarding of the various grades..
