... sorry - I can't see the picture!? If the Wappen is missing, than prussian Generalstab or Militärapotheker!? Best regards, Jens

Hi Naxos, ... you know when they was added? I don't think this are bavarian shoulderboards!? Maybe for a prussain Militär-Beamter (prussian Beamte had blue Durchzüge)! The star is also for a Beamter, only the Wappen is missing! So the tunic is maybe also for a Militär-Beamter!??????? I'm not sure, just an idea! Best regards, Jens

Hi Speedy, Artillery with the spike on the helmet must be bavarian-artllerie before 1916. I think that's a maneuver-picture around 1910 (+/- 5 years). Best regards, Jens

Hi Brianch, maybe this book is what you need!? Kriegskalender des Deutschen Heeres ... - Gustav Goes, Hermann Cron - Google Books Gustav Goes, Hermann Cron: "Kriegskalender des Deutschen Heeres 1914 - 1918" ... or this book: Die schlachten und gefechte des ... - Prussia (Kingdom). Armee. Grosser Generalstab - Google Books "Die Schlachten und Gefechte des Grossen Krieges 1914-1918". See sample-pages! Best regards, Jens ... this is also a good source: The German forces in the field

... the seller is a "runing gag"! "Best" bar this year was with an adverting-medal (1986) from a german sparkling-wine bottle! And sometimes later again a bar with this modern medal: 6er Ordensspange+6 Orden.sehr schön! | eBay

Hi, there are some nice public records online (PDF-files): - Verzeichnis von Trägern ausländischer Orden und Ehrenzeichen im Herzogtum Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha - Verzeichnis über die Verleihung von Militärorden, Denkmünzen, Schnallen und anderen Dienstauszeichnungen - Verzeichnis über die Verleihung ziviler Orden, Ehrenzeichen und Geschenken - Verzeichnis über die Verleihung des Sachsen Ernestinischen Hausordens und weiterer Auszeichnungen des Hauses Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha The last four links on this webpage here: Thüringer Staatsarchive - Online - Findbücher Best regards, Jens

Hi Terry, sure, it's out from a small book (44 pages): "Deutsche Truppenstempel bis 1918 und Abkürzungen der Truppenteile" 2006. But there must be another new and very good book about stamps: "Handbuch deutscher Waffenstempel" (440 pages): Handbuch Deutscher Waffenstempel: auf Militär- und Diensthandwaffen 1871-2000: Amazon.de: Joachim Görtz, Albrecht Wacker: Bücher Best regards, Jens

Hi Terry, I don't think so, anything around Eisenbahn (Railway) was stamped with an "E". But I'm not an expert! Best regards, Jens

Hi Terry, ... I'm not really an expert on this, but I think the stamps for tunics and weapons are different. In a tunic the stamp could be the year, but on a bayonet there is also an "Abnahmestempel" on the blade. So I think the last number (for bayonets) is the weapon-number. Best regards, Jens

Hi Chris, I'm really not sure, but your stamp (maybe) means: "Bayerische 15. Regiment 3. Kompanie, Waffe 43" ???? And the other (maybe) means: sächsische Bekleidungsamt XIX, Waffe 13 ????? Best regards, Jens

Hi Thierry, yes german and I think Sanitäts-Personal (Krankenwärter der Provinzial-Armeekorps). Best regards, Jens p.s.: the rank-star one the shoulderboard is wrong! ;)

Hi, the picture is taken in Bernburg, there was the 2. Ersatz-Bataillon Infanterie-Regiment Nr.66 Best regards, Jens

Hi Christer, Freikorps, with the oakleafs on the collar: Freiwilliges Landesjägerkorps or Freikorps von Hülsen or Freiw. Detachment Probstmayr or Freiw. 17. Inf.-Div. (General v. Held). The guy with the oakleafs on the cap, I think that's earlier Reichswehr. Best regards, Jens

Hi Christer, nice picture and I think it's Seebataillon. Best regards, Jens

... hmm - but in this style of lettering, I don't think so!?

Hi, the "V" maybe for "Versuchs-Abteilung" ????????????? Best regards, Jens

Hi Ulsterman, you will find the document here: Personaldaten von Lehrern und Lehrerinnen Preußens Best regards, Jens

Hi Forseti, you already have the regimental history or you can't find it in a book about german-tunics!? The regimental history (PDF-file on CD-ROM) you will find here: Artikel-Nr.: 1185 Titel: Garde Infanterie Regiment Nr. 7 Preis: 5 € Title: „Das 7. Garde-Infanterie-Regiment im Weltkrieg 1914-1918." (see: Literatur): GER 2 – GenWiki Best regards, Jens

Hi Hardy, I think his name is KLEINHANSS (there is no line over the "u"). The familyname (with double "s") still exsist in Germany. And the name of the Kompanie-Führer is (maybe): ANDING: Verteilung des Namens "Anding" in Deutschland - verwandt.de Best regards, Jens

... I can't find a Johann in any bavarian Stammrolle! Just a Anton from Kleinkötz!

... arggh - I don't know why it doesn't work! Anyway, it's not so important! I hope this link is ok: OPACplus search for: Die Tapferkeitsmedaille You can order copies from the,but you have to pay for: subito - Document Delivery Service - ... and it takes some time!

Paul, the Rentzmann's Wappen Lexicon is for coins, so I think you mean something like a this (*): 03629-WWW.jpg 800 × 400 Pixel But I'm not sure that your coat of arms is a saxon!??? I can't find it here: Deutsche Wappen - SACHSEN ... or here: German Coats of Arms (Wappen) XVIIth Century A005 Best regards, Jens (*): RÖMISCH - DEUTSCHES REICH WELTLICHE HERREN Sachsen - Weimar, Taler 1598, Saalfeld. mcsearch.info - The medieval & modern coin search engine ..or: Sachsen-Albertinische-Linie ?: Google Übersetzer
