Hi John, here you will find some informations: PB 3 – GenWiki Best regards, Jens

Thanks Chris, and here a signature from Willy von Livonius. Best regards, Jens picture

Hi Chris, from the IR 145 it is Friedrich Franz v. Huth. Please can you show me the complete document!? Thanks & best regards, Jens

Tach Andreas, könnte es evtl. der General d. Inf. Hermann von Strantz sein??? Gruss Jens

... I can't - because it's not my picture! I will asked the owner. Best regards, Jens

Hi, it's latin for Wilhelmus Rex (König Wilhelm/King William). Best regards Jens

Hi Chris, in the Feldgrau-Forum.de someone show a very clear picture, also with a number on the tunic: Was bedeutet diese Nr ... - Feldgrau Best regards, Jens

Hi Dave, you are sure - my greatgrandfather was Volksschullehrer and I found him there! And my greatgranduncle was Gymnasialschullehrer and I didn't found him! Maybe the archive/documents are not complete!?? Best regards, Jens

Hi jocktamson, the stamp could be for 2nd. battalion 8. Rheinisches Inf.-Rgt. Nr.70 Best regards, Jens

Hi, you checked the teachers archive!? Bibliothek für Bildungsgeschichtliche Forschung Best regards, Jens

... yes - that's right, they had to take it off if they changed the unit. But on a studio-portrait the people like to show what they got!? I have a studio-portrait (Musketier in blue-tunic) with the Kaiserabzeichen 1913 and he ist wearing the iron-cross 1914 ribbon, the guy received the ircon-cross 2nd class around Febr.-June 1916. Best regards, Jens

Hi Freiwillige, maybe he won his Kaiserabzeichen on an other ship and changed later to the SMS Kaiser Barbarossa !??? Best regards, Jens

I send you a PM! :cheers:

I don't know a link about the naval-version. I have just an article (in german) with some black & white pictures about! Best regards, Jens

Hi Freiwillige, ... maybe the Württemberg had the same monogram than the prussains (with Kaiser-crown = for Kaiser Wilhelm II.). But only six prussain and two saxon MG-units won this prize*, so we don't know exactly which Abzeichen a unit from Württemberg would get! *... argghh - the link doesn't work! Take the first one from google: militär/formationsgeschichte/deutschland/alte armee/kaiserpreis - Google-Suche ... no - it's the same king-crown for Bayern, Sachsen and Württemberg (maybe there are some manufacturer differences!?). ... Navy had only the Kaiserabzeichen like the artillery (no carabines). But the Navy had also embroided badges (also a special one for the white Matrosenhemd (in white with blue embroid). The Kaiserpreis for the Kompanieführer was a small engraved silver frame (for the desk). The Kaiserpreis (for the Kompanie) was a bronze bust from the Kaiser with a small engraved plate - see here. And the badge for enlisted men and NCO's. The Kaiserschiesspreis was a yellow lanyard with crown for for enlisted men & NCO's and for the Kompanieführer also a long silver lanyard with crown. Best regards, Jens

Hallo Chris, ein paar Kolonialblätter gibt es hier z. B. Online: Internet Archive Search: Kolonialblatt Gruss Jens

Hi Hardy, I know from WWI just the saxon "snake" arm badge (see #11): Arm badge question - Germany: Imperial Uniforms, Headwear, Insignia & Personal Equipment - Gentleman's Military Interest Club Best regards, Jens

Hi Dave, thanks a lot, maybe possible!? But when I compare the letters, I think the letter "t" (in Hauptmann) and the last letter in the name are the same!?? But not for sure - so I keep the name Nobach in my mind! Thanks a lot for your great help! Best regards, Jens

Hi Andy, ... great - thank you a lot! ... exaclty! Thanks again and best regards, Jens

Hi Troy, nice Bierkrug, but I think the beer mug is not imperial. Artillerie-Regiment 93 - Lexikon der Wehrmacht Best regards, Jens

Charles, I send you a PM with the Stammrollen! Best regards, Jens

Hi, here an other one! Best regards, Jens

Hi Charles, the saxony had the same cord as the prussains, but an other shield (grade 5-10), see the chart here: Schützenschnur – Wikipedia Best regards, Jens
