Hello Dante!

Very nice MP! Is Noskes signature original?

This Lt.d.Res. Pieper served with the Garde-Gren.Rgt.Nr.1 (Alexander). After armistice, he probably joined the Freiwilligen-Bataillon Garde Gren.Rgt.1. This volunteer-bataillon was part of the Freiwilligen 3.Garde-Inf.Brig. (Freiw.2.Garde-Inf.Div.)

In june 1919 they became the Reichswehr-Brigade 26 Fürstenwalde. The bataillon became I.Btl./Reichswehr-Inf.Rgt.51 and stayed in Fürstenwalde

The regiment was active only until october 1919.

Then the I.Btl./RW-Inf.Rgt.51 became I.Btl.Fürstenwalde/Reichswehr-Inf.Rgt.30 Cottbus (Reichswehr-Inf.Brig. 15 Berlin)

End of july 1920 the bataillon became II.Btl. Berlin/Rw-Inf.Rgt.29 Berlin

In october 1920 the brigade 3, brigade 15 and brigade 6 formed the 3.Division of the so-called 100.000 men army and the II.Btl./29 became part of the 9.(preuß.) Inf.Rgt. in Potsdam.

In 1921 53 officers went to the Inf.Rgt.3, 5, 8 and 9

Unfortunately the Rangliste of october 1920 doesn´t show an officer named Pieper, so I assume, he left the army not later than summer 1920

Many thanks, yes the Gustav Noske signature looks to be original.....
