Hi, Very interesting post Here are three markings on 98. Grenadier Regiment K?nigin Olga : Another W?rttemberg marking : Reserve JR 121 Colbergsches-Grenadier-Regiment Graf Gneisenau (2. Pommersches) Nr.9 unfortunately not in good conditions : Stephan
Hi all, There is a lot of variants in saxon buckles. Here is a late war variant I've just acquired (dated 1918) : Made by Robert Ehrhardt, Zw?nitz Stephan
Hi, Thanks for your comment. It's a known saxon variant (probably for the period 1867-1895) but unfortunately, I don't have any idea for the maker. Stephan
Hi, Here are two of my new items. First, a Saxon buckle (M 1895) : And a W?rttemberg's one (also M 1895) : They have joined my Hessian buckle : Stephan
Perhaps, but I don't think it's a regimental marking. Generally, there is a "JR" or "R" before or after numbers. Here, I don't know what it can be. Stephan
Thanks for your answer ! This alloy (Maillechort) is made of : copper, nickel and zinc. I know what is "Alpaka", and it seems to be the same thing. Stephan
Hello, The JR 415 was part of the 204 Jnfanterie Division (during july-december 1916). In october-november, this Division was in the vicinity of Wytschaete near Messines at south of Ypres : "Stellungsk?mpfe im Wytschaetebogen (Flandern)". Best regards, Stephan
Hi Chip, Very nice buckles, especially this one for the Leibgarde JR 115 ! Do you know the name of metal it is made ? In french, it is "Maillechort" but I don't know the word in english. Stephan
I add a nice photo of the 2 GRzF : And shoulder boards : He was "Jahresklasse 1909" and he fought throughout the war (1916 Gefreiter, 1917 Unteroffizier, Februar 1918 Sergenten). Until 1917 he was in the 2 GRzF and then in the "Feld Rekrut Depot" of the 231 Jnfanterie Division. Here are extracts from his Milit?rpass : Stephan
Hi, Here are 3 badges for a same veteran in the Garde Korps (During the war, he was at the 2 GRzF). These badges are they "official" or only for a veteran association ? Do you know what is the signification of the numbers 25 and 50 (the years he spent in this association ?) By advance, thank a lot. The first badge : Stephan
Hi Duksis, Thanks for showing these nice dog tags I like especially thoses for the Minenwerfer Komp 408 ! This unit was part of the 205 Jnfanterie Division, created at the end of 1916 on the eastern front. Best regards Stephan
