No, sorry it did not come with the lot. But I hope to get either more items or information on Wilhelms.
I do have a few things left like his 2 EKs and his HK, one extra picture, a piece of garment, a couple of additional Ks, a miniature chain.
I will be posting them during this week.

And back to TWMs, there is a second TWM in the group. Although the detail you highlighted surely looks like a vertical back pin, but because I am holding the pictures and both TWMs, I tend to believe the pictured TWM is indeed the BB&Co.
The second TWM is of higher quality, is very delicate, the medal body is marked with a 938 silver content, the pin is marked with a 800 silver content.
In this case I do hope to be able to help a little regarding the BB&Co mistery. I would think that the medal he used during the Turkish campaign was the BB&Co, it has a lot of wear, don?t know if combat wear, but a lot of wear comparing to the silver TWM.
Please look at the pictures, and please let me know if you can relate the silver one to a alreay described maker.
Could this be a plausible scenario; he wore the BB&Co during the war and custom ordered the silver one later during the 20s or 30s?

It is a just an amazing album, I can spend hours over there. I have read somewhere that the Goeben/Breslau incident was a decisive event that contributted to Turkey?s entering the war on the Imperial German side.
Because the book came along with the lot, I thought Wilhelms was in Gallipoli, since some of the men aboard the Goeben and Breslau took part of the Dardenelles campaign.
I will add a few more things. It takes a while to add things up because I try to post only the best pictures I can take.
What is really exciting is that there is a faint possibility I can either get additional items or indirectly get more information about Wilhelms from his daughter.
I believe he was in Russia, sometime in 1917. How much travel an officer could do during the war?
