    Help with Soldats Unit


    Recommended Posts

    Hello. Can anyone help IDing this Soldats Unit? It shows his name and Stab/Inf ******** 119

    I can not make out the Cursive Writing, and am not sure what the rest says. This particular soldier Aquired a Personal Purchase Firearm(Mauser HSc) and this is the receipt. Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with this.

    Regards,

    Mike

    Nice handwriting. Learned it that way as a kiddo:

    "Feldwebel Walter Stier Stab/Inf. Ers. Batl. 119"

    Ersatz Bataillon of Inf/Gren Rgt 119 was in Eßlingen am Neckar.

    Since his name and the gun dealer's are the same, I wonder what the family relationship was?

    Thanks so much! :) Very helpful and quick. My friend and I were wondering the same thing. I am not sure if my friend when he bought this document found out about the history of it.

    Thanks again. I will relay the info to him. We both study and collect the Mauser HSc and this is just another neat little artifact.

    Take Care,

    Mike
