gregM Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Nice collection Robin. This one is not military but it is cool.

Robin Lumsden Posted January 14, 2007 Author Posted January 14, 2007 ...and the flag to go with them......
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Is "phrenophilia" an actual word?Only if it has to do with velcro restraints, gasmasks, riding boots and leather whips......
Robin Lumsden Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 Only if it has to do with velcro restraints, gasmasks, riding boots and leather whips......Now you're talking, Chris.
landsknechte Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Only if it has to do with velcro restraints, gasmasks, riding boots and leather whips......In that case, I think the word you're looking for is "projection".

Gilles Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Bad timing, Chris, otherwise you would have earned the frontpage of the Bild Zeitung...

Chris Boonzaier Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Chris, is your skull painted in white as all that don't move in a Foreign Legion camp ?

Jan Arne S Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Hi Robin !Great Collection of Sculls ! Jan Arne
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Here's an odd skull.Not like the official pattern for guard pioneers.Apparently came from a German house clearance. (The attached shoulder straps may have come with it.)Anyone any ideas?
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Here's the back.The method of construction, with hand stitching, seems very similar to the official Guard Pioneer badges.The straps relate to the Wuerttemberg Army Corps, whose state colours were of course black and red.The black and red on the skull may be coincidental.Minenwerfer (other than Heuschkel post-1918) didn't wear skulls, so far as I know.I'm stumped.
Naxos Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) Robin, the straps are for an Offizierstellvertreter belonging to the Minenwerfer Bataillon XIII. Edited May 17, 2009 by Naxos
Robin Lumsden Posted May 17, 2009 Author Posted May 17, 2009 Robin, the straps are for an Offizierstellvertreter belonging to the Minenwerfer Bataillon XIIIThanks. They were listed as 'Minenwerfer Abteilung des XIII. Armeekorps' (???)I'm not really that acqainted with Imperial army formations.It's really the TK I'm interested in. It's an oddity.
Naxos Posted May 17, 2009 Posted May 17, 2009 (edited) In 1917, the Minenwerfer Bataillon XIII was fighting together with a Sturmbataillon and Flammenwerfertrupps at the Hartmannsweilerkopf.November 10, 1917"Ein weiteres gro?es, neues Unternehmen auf der Kuppe startet vom LIR 124. Vier Sto?truppsvon 4 Offizieren 120 Mann mit 38 Mann vom Sturmbataillon XVI, 18 Pioniere und 8Flammenwerfer werden eingesetzt. Die gr?ndliche Ausbildung am ?bungswerk Ollweilersollte jetzt Erfolg zeigen. Zerst?rungsschie?en durch das Minenwerferbataillon XIII und3 Batterien Artillerie hielt den Feind nieder.
