Hello, Got this one recently have not seen these with this type of pin and with Hamburg 3 is this an area or district ? thanks Mark

Hello Mark,

yes you are right - "Hamburg 3" or "Hamburg 11" means a Post-district in Hamburg.

Probably in the early years the changed the numbers of the Post-districts from "3" to "11".

I have documents (Besitz-Zeugnis from 1926) with the district-number "3" and another one

from the year 1933 with the numbre "11".

So maybe the earlier Feldehrenzeichen are with the number "3" !?!?

Best regards,

Jens

... Somehow in SWA he hold a speech to his troops and told them something they had to do "like the old romans did", so from this speech the name came from.

Best regards Daniel

Great find Theodor!!! Thanks!!!

I found some online: http://www.denkmalprojekt.org/Gedenkbueche...eitung_1915.htm

Hi, I think the glue is possible on old shoulder-boards - especially by the colors red (sometimes also in yellow).

See my example - both are old shoulder-boards, the red Chiffre on the right side glows the other not!

Don't worry - but wait what the others think about!

Best regards,

Jens

... ok, the quality is not the best - but there is a search-engine for the whole book!

Better than nothing! :cheers:

Hi,

nice box! I read also Landwehr-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 153.

The LIR153 was formed (around 1917) from the: Landwehr-Ersatz-Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 2

Best regards,

Jens

Hi,

Mean love Butzer

to the friendly memory Franz Mutz

royal chamber musician

So basically a Royal Bavarian Court Musik meister, with a few close freinds!

Hi,

I think there is writen:

"Meinen lieben Butzer

zur freundlichen Erinnerung

Franz Mutz

k?niglicher Kammermusiker"

(over the "m" is a small line - this means "mm").

Best regards,

Jens
