Board details

very bright pink

... sorry - I can't see the picture!?

If the Wappen is missing, than prussian Generalstab or Militärapotheker!?

Best regards,

Jens

Hi Naxos,

.... The Bavarian shoulder boards have been added and are not original to this tunic. ....

... 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

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

... It's also possible that B.A.XIX. stands for the Betreibs Abteilung of the Eisenbahn (Railway) unit of the XIX Armee Korps.

The 2nd Royal Saxon Train Battalion No. 19 was part of this AK.

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,

... unsure about the weapon number 13 though - I have seen another post elsewhere about a tunic with a BA XIX 18 marking so it could just be the year ....

... 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

... Does anyone have a clue from what regiment he is or something else ...

Hi Christer,

nice picture and I think it's Seebataillon.

Best regards,

Jens

Or "V" as Roman "5" ?

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

Hi,

the "V" maybe for "Versuchs-Abteilung" ?????????????

Best regards,

Jens

... can't read it because the print is so small-but what was your Uncle doing between August 1919 and April 1926?

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

His name is Kleinhauss from the town of Alsheim near Worms.

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 didn't find him in the two Bavarian battalions of the 3.Jäger Rgt. either.

Chip

Hi Jens,

I have the Ehrenbuch downloaded, but the 1922 list I cannot seem to get to work?

Thanks

Chris

Moin Chris,

uppps: Trefferliste - DigiBib :: Digitale Bibliothek ... but that was just a link to a list from 1922,

so I think als informations (from this 1922 list) are in the book from 1928: Datei:Bayerns goldenes Ehrenbuch 1914-1918.djvu – GenWiki

Best regards,

Jens

Hi,

Does anyone know if there were membership lists published between the wars?

Thanks

Chris

Chip the left hand arms are described by Rentzmann's Wappen Lexicon as Saxony, Electorate which dates it prior to 1802, the right hand arms are more confusing because I can't find a coat of arms with a scimitar but certainly of Saxon origin.

Paul

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

Jens

Chris,

I'm not sure, but I think you mean the (longer) spike for an Adjutant !?
