Officer Schoefer ?

[mravery]

Hello All,

I recently picked up a wartime Guard officer's spike and scratched into the interior spike base support 'washer' is the name "W Schoefer"....

I checked the 14-18 rank list.... but I'm not expert at reading them ... but I could not find any officer by that name.

Is there any other place to look... or any other reference.. ?? or anyone who can find it (Ohhhhh.... Rickyyyyyyyyyy ???)

Or.. perhaps this was scratched in by some collector years ago... I have no idea ??????

Cheers

Mark

Hi Mark,

no regular of that name. I have so far only identified one Leutnant der Reserve Schoefer of Grenadier-Regiment Nr. 11 commissioned as such on the 22.3.1915.

No Prussian Schoefer KIA although one Leutnant der Reserve Sch?fer (again not a Guardsman) is listed as KIA in the Ehrenmal.

Regards

Glenn

Thanks Glenn......

Hummm.. perhaps I need to scratch "Avery" into all my stuff..... to help confuse other collectors 60 years from now

PS.... Glenn... did you see my question in the uniform section concerning Austrian general's tunics ????
