Rick, Many thanks for your help! I already start to search for history Hessian Infantry Regiment 118. I can assume that swords to ?M3K specify that ?M3K has been received after 13.12.1916. If the owner bar became the officer after 1916 to it should be then more than 45 years. Together with bar other subjects were on sale also. While I cannot look in a picture album, but I think photos to us can to help with what that? P.S. It would be desirable to hope for a miracle... :blush:
