Fantastic items!

impressive collection!

Very nice, love the beilpicke in the back!

Killer condition!

Hi, No stamps sadly, as it is a private purchase mütze i suspect. It does have the remains of a name: Lich

The liner is also repaired with black thread.

Thanks Chris! The cards are indeed Albert Reich.

As far as i could find the collors of the c ockade represent Mecklenburg, but corrections are always welcome!

Hello all,

A couple of Jäger related items i recently added to the collecion!

A Tellermütze with a cockade of reserve unter offizier and a cockade of Mecklenburg, wich is quite rare i think.
As far as i could find Mecklenburg had only two Jäger bataillons, the Jäger bataillon 14 and Reserven Jäger bataillon 14.

Also a S98/05 a.A with a Jäger troddel of the III. compagny, made by Simson & Co in 1915. The frog looks like a private purchase item.

The items are not in the best condition but i really like the aesthetics of both pieces.

Love the corduroy type fabric!

I am lucky i stumbled upon this one!

Thank you!

Hello all,

I recently got my hands on a walking stick made and ingraved by a German soldier.
 

Musketier H. Mahnke, Kompagnie 8, Infaterie Regiment 187. 

Next to a Iron cross are a Rifle cartidge and a dagger ingraved.

The soldier also ingraved some of the fronts he fought at: Aisne 1915, Arras 1915, Vogesen 1915/16.

The metal plates are from Tirol, it is a tradition among mountain climbers/hikers to collect these type of plates from where they have been en attach them to their stick.

Sadly H. Mahnke did not make it through the war and died on 30. 09. 1918. He is burried on the Friedhof of Montaigu near Laon.

Very nice pieces!

Thanks you!

Thank you all!

And Fritz, thanks for the extra info!

Stunning set up!

Looks great! Love the beilpicke.

Thanks Paul!  The knife on the 4th pic is made by Clemen & Jung, the knife on the right of the last pic is made by Ernst Busch. The knife on the left is unmarked.

Thank you for your opinions!

Thanks! Sure is one of my favorite pieces.

Thanks you for your replay, on the Feldgrau forum i was told it is a reproduction.

Thanks! The breadbag is marked: 12, 6 I.R., BDM 1918, 301. Looking at its condition i think it bever left the depot during the war.

Hello!

I am new to the forum so i thought i start off with showing a few items from my collection.

I mainly collect German field gear and edged weapons from the great war.

Enjoy.

Hello everybody,

Could anyone tell me if this cap is original or a reproduction? I could not find anything in the reference books i own, and headgear is not my strong point.

Any comment will be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
