Thanks Glenn !

One suspect off the list

christer

Hi, I bought this photo of a Hauptmann from Feld Artillerie Regiment 33

His name is Carl lange and the photo was taken in 1918, when looking through the Rangliste of 1924 I found a OberstLt Lange in 2 Division Stab des Artillerieführers II . Could it be the same man ?

The question is if he contioued into Reichswehr or not

I fully understand that Lange is a common name and it probably is impossible to find out anything, but I still make a call for help

Any info is much appreciated

Christer

Aha ,

Thanks Uwe !

Another big gun to the collection

Christer

And the backside with the names

Christer

The long name is for the School in Swinemünde who had Kapitän Zur See Friedrich Böhme as Commander in 1944

Here is a Photo from May 13 1944 with a lot of officers attending or maybe teachers on the school

There is a lot of names on the back, I wonder if anyone can recognise someone from the group ?

Best regards from Sweden

Christer

And here is whats written on the back of the pic

Hmmm

Since you managed to Id my last "mystery gun " as a French Schneider

I thought I would give you a new challenge , this photo arrived today , a heavy gun I suppose but what ?

This time there is some written in German on the bach which may help ?

Any suggestions

Christer

Thank you all, it´s good when you find the answer at the end

A French 28 cm Schneider , maybe used on the Leningrad front 1941-42 ?

Does anyone have some info about this Sachsen regiment ? Or about Hans Herfurth ?

Anyone here who was the lucky winner for this one ?

Venezuela bar , I was watching it but the price was to high for me

Christer

I am also a liitle bit worried about theese bow ribbon bars , I´ve seen no less then two for sale in Sweden this year looking very similar to this ebay one .

Maybe someone has started manufacturing this type of ribbon bars recently ?

I hope Santa bring you nice presents this christmas, a smile, a hug and good health being the best

we can wish for , but if he absolutely want to give me a EK I 1870 i don´t mind

Merry Christmas all
