Mike, I'm really sure about five letters! So "Kumme" is not possible! The first letter has a small line to the right - for a "K" (see the red line). And I don't think the IR95 chiffe is a "EG" for Herzöge Ernst von Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha und Georg von Sachsen-Meiningen. It's more a "WR" or "WFR" (maybe with roman numeral!?). So I think Chip has the right idea - the Gren-Rgt. Nr.10 possible. Best regards, Jens

... I think the Bataillons-Kommondeur is: Kurt Eberhard Leopold Freiherr von MEDEM !?!? I know just this (later) picture of him: http://www.seitengewehr.de/krpreussen6-7.html Medem was Bataillons-Kommandeur from 18.10.1891 - 8.9.1893 (I. Bataillon IR145). But I'm not sure! What do you think - I'm wrong or right!? Thanks a lot in advance! Jens (v. Medem is listed in the Ordensliste (page 636) for the EK2)
