Klaus P. Schad Posted May 13, 2022 Author Share Posted May 13, 2022 G'day Mate, I'll show you the reverse of my tank badge as soon as my PC helper shows up. Remember , I'm an old fart and not very computer savvy. How are things Down Under? Have you ever heard of Michael O'Hara, the crook who invented the AH-Pistol for 3 Mil.bucks ? Klaus Hello Flavio, thanks for your reply. The Totenkpf insignia is an officer's patch from the G.R.P.R. according to Dr. K.-G. Klietmann. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus P. Schad Posted September 7, 2022 Author Share Posted September 7, 2022 (edited) Hi Guys, here are some more goodies from my collection. As far as I know and according to Jeff Noll’s “German Imperial Regimental Markings”, there are only 3 Lugers unit marked to Grenadier Regt.110 which are reported in the US and one more supposedly in New Zealand. 1908 DWM unit marked to 110.R.8.3. = 110.Grenadier Regiment, 8.company, weapon # 3. (ex’d out “R.”110.12.2.) which stands for: “Reserve Infantry Regt.110”, 12.company, weapon # 2. 1912 Erfurt unit marked to Gr.R.110.M.G. 80. = Grenadier Regiment 110, MG-company, weapon # 80. 1913 DWM unit marked to 110.R.8.1. = 110. Grenadier Regiment, 8.company, weapon # 1. Furthermore, the regimental history book “Das 2. Badische Grenadier Regiment Kaiser Wilhelm I. Nr.110 im Weltkrieg 1914/18”. My uncle’s personal book filled with letters, postcards and pics while fighting in France, was handed down to me from my family. A 1916 P08 holster, ink stamped to 2nd company /Regt.110. My uncle was called to arms on June 19th,1917 to Leib-Grenadier Regiment 109 in Karlsruhe and after boot camp went on February 12th,1918 to the Feldrekruten Depot of the 28.I.D. in France, where he was transferred to the “2nd comp. of Gren.Regt.110.

Klaus P. Schad Posted September 8, 2022 Author Share Posted September 8, 2022 Hi Guys, here’s another one of my treasure. I found this beautiful 1913 P08 holster with handwritten name of Hptm. Killmann and “10/G.G.R.5” (10th comp. of Garde Grenadier Regt.5) garrisoned in Spandau at the Great Western Gun Show in LA. It took me roughly about 30 yrs. to stuff this holster with the proper gun of the same unit. I couldn’t find one of 10th comp. but the MGK was close enough. (this gun is a 1912 DWM unit marked to 5.G.G.M.G.55. = 5.Garde Grenadier Regt. MG-Kompanie, Waffe 55. Shortly after, I was able to get Killmann’s engraved EKI from a good friend of mine. Naturally, I had to get the regimental history book and found Hptm. Killmann’s very interesting service records on page 769. Please see copy.

ostprussenmann_new Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I personally love BLG and RIR RGT Nr. 109. I have a lot of straps and pickelhaube covers, etc from bo to regiments. You sir have something even better. Years ago I lost an auction by $500 on a Gew 88 Marked RIR 109; a big regret I have had. Very special and Baden regiments have a special place In my heart.

VtwinVince Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 I don't know about that Kampfwagenabzeichen. But I do like your engraved EK1, that's a beauty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus P. Schad Posted October 20, 2022 Author Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hello Vince, I bought my Kampfwagen-Abzeichen about 30 years ago from a dealer in Germany. As far as I can remember there’s an article listed by Dr. Klietmann regarding the tank badge in Deutsche Heereskunde. In his catalog (Price Guide, Orders and Decorations Germany 1871-1945), Detlev Niemann is showing a photo with description, which is conveniently written in English and German. However, he didn’t translate “ Da keine amtlichen Herstellungsvorschriften vorlagen” “(since no official-manufacturing-regulations were available).” Vince, I’m no expert if it comes to medals and badges but I always tried to find my answers in archives and contemporary literature. Best regards, Klaus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
