    1. Possible is also FA 27 but according to the other pictures offered from the same estate it should be FFA 27. Regards Alex

    7. It is interesting that during the raid over Dünaburg on 4th februar 1916 Hptm Erich Linnarz was still the regular commander of LZ 86, before he took over the command of LZ 97 late februar 16, but he was not on bord during this flight. The airship was led by the 1st officer Hptm Walter Wolff, who later took over the command of LZ 86 after Linnarz. Regards Alex
    8. usualy the square is stamped on the pin, sometimes on the reverse of the badge. Possible the stamp was on the pin. The "935" stamp is just a silver content mark. This is well known maker of imperial german aviation badges. Regards Alex

    12. Thanks for this info. No doubt any more. What a great provenience. What a pitty that the group was splitted. Regards Alex
    13. very nice cross with a great provenience, even if this is not 100% proof due to missing of any documents. Does the number on the cross mean the award number? Could the number be tracked? Regards Alex
    14. Here another picture of an SSW giant plane from RFA 501. Look at the position of the MG. Vary interesting. A picture of members of RFA 501. Regards Alex
    15. I love this documents. This one is out of the group of Lt Richard Hentschel (29.12.1897) from IR 134 and later observer with FA A 281 and FA A 276Lb. He received the MStHO as company leader of 8/134. He was at the age of 17. Later he received the AO knight cross 2nd class with swords (30.03.1916) and the VO knight cross 2nd class with swords (15.09.1917). Regards Alex
