The Prussian Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Here's a "big" number... Reserve Feld-Artillerie-Regiment Nr.239 Big number? Mine is bigger... Unfortunately no helmet-cover, just a shoulder-board FAR 600 and the BIGGEST number I have: Feldartillerie-Batterie 833 Edited September 27, 2013 by The Prussian
IrishGunner Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Okay, Andy, if you want to compare who's gun is bigger... I'll have to jump ahead... Munitions Kolone 863 ... and it is a pickelhaube cover! I also have a card with the stempel of Feld-Artillerie Batterie 848 and I have a card showing shoulder strap for MunKol 934 too! But you'll have to wait for those... In the meantime... Die Munitionskolonne PS: If Chip ever checks in to this thread, I'm sure he'll have something in the 1000s...
The Prussian Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) OK, I can´t reach that number... Chip did it!!! Thanx a lot! LMK 1203: set-up 30.3.1918 from AOK 7. Was under command of Ers.Abtl./4.Garde-Feldart.Rgt. Thanx for the song! It´s great! I love the old german marching songs!!!! I have found another helmet cover from a Landsturm-Unit: Ldst.Inf.Btl. Ellwangen (XIII.12) Edited September 28, 2013 by The Prussian
IrishGunner Posted September 28, 2013 Posted September 28, 2013 LMK 1203 But his is a pickelhaube cover thread... So I still WIN!
Chip Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 But his is a pickelhaube cover thread... So I still WIN! Somewhere, I have a photo of a cover in the 800 number series, so don't count your chickens yet!

Die Munitionskolonne PS: If Chip ever checks in to this thread, I'm sure he'll have something in the 1000s... IG Are you sure with Mun.Kol. 863? Because I haven´t seen a helmet cover with a bigger number than 1000, I assume, the ammo columns didn´t have written helmet covers. (IF they had, they would have the numbers of the shoulder straps. Note, that the ammo colums wore the numbers of the active or reserve artillery units!) "Your" man could serve with the Feldartillerie-Battarie Nr.863! Set-up 21.11.1915 (XVII.AK). Ersatztrupppe: 2.Ers.Abt./Feldart.Rgt.81 Under command of 36.Res.Div.(1916) and from late 1916 8.Armee. Armed with russian 8,69cm Feldkanone. Like mine 833. (VII.AK) Ers.Abt./Feldart.Rgt.58. Armee with russian 8,69cm too

Tony Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) A mix of bearded gents with R 1 and 7 on their helmet covers, 6 months into the war. The reverse gives me no clues as to where they're from. Edited June 20, 2015 by Tony can't spell
