The cross. I suppose I could have taken greater care when snapping this, but you've seen them before.

[Ralph A]

I suppose, it would be too much to ask for it to have a maker's mark...

[Ralph A]

Some details.

[Ralph A]

Thank you for looking. Enjoy!

Wonderful set !!!

Oh, hiiiiiiiiiiiim!

Joseph (ph ophishally) R?ckl was born 1897, commissioned Bavarian regular army Leutnant 25 May 1916. In April 1918 he had the MMO4X.

Alive 1926.

MMOXies? you mean these?

I looove MMOXies!

[Guest Rick Research]

Yes, but no Crown for R?ckl. I had a flip through "Bayerns Schwere Artillerie" but did not turn him up in the section for I. Bn/Fssa 3-- that only listed Battery COMMANDERS, not all officers. The split up war units usually printed more detail, so if he shifted units, may turn up more on him. I assume he mailed his EK home to his mommy, since he was too young to be married.

Everything shown on this thread is fantastic,I especially like the EK2!
