Excellent contributions, Maxwell! You know as well as I do how hard these are to locate, so I love getting to see what others have.

Absolutely, but I only have five or six photos of GR89, I will find time to post the rest of them out soon.

A recent arrival. Several of the prisoners in the photo were from Grenadier-Regiment Nr.89, and the card was mailed to Wessentin (Lübz), Mecklenburg-Schwerin by a Heinrich Genkel.

Nice photo, it’s surprising to me that all have a nice visor cap being POWs.

Another one.

Wonderful pictures from the GR 89. I`ve been looking for a belt Buckel M/95 from the Regiment For a long time.
There are so many well made copies out there.
Thank you for showing of the recordings!

Not sure if this is the real deal or not....

Thank you for these photos. Here is my entry:
First a note:
the helmet of the photo is curiously a helmet of the Strelitz, in view of the front plate, but... with a fluted tip... of the Schwerin!!!
An anomaly...genuine. Indeed, the helmets of the II/89GR (Strelitz) had the standard Prussian tip.

Here is my II/GR89, with its good smooth tip. It is a "troop" bomb, raised "Offizier", when the Feldwebel (nominative helmet "Pause") was raised to the rank of 0ffizierstellvertreter, at the front.The cocades are brocaded by the "officer M15" trunnions. No risk of losing them.

These non-regulatory "curiosities" can only be explained by the urgency of the mobilization, and/or the circumstances of war.

Concernant les casques Schwerin... je n'ai pas (encore) les modèles M95 et M15... mais j'ai le M1868 (sans bourrelet arrière et avec la cocarde spécifique) et le M91 (avec jugulaire M91) 2 ont la spécifique pointe "tulipe". Le point culminant cannelé n'est arrivé qu'en 1895. Une photo d'époque, du FR90. Les "actifs" ont la pointe cannelée M68, les "réservistes" ont la pointe cannelée M95.

Looks like it! Nice piece, and went fast!

Time for a bump! This is probably the finest photo I have on the subject of GR89, showing Rudolf Graf von Bünau. He was Regimental Commander from 1901 to 1905.

Here is another fine GR89 Officer photo I recently got in. This one shows Major Günther von Grolman in 1913. He was killed in action a year later in Pontoise, France as commander of III. Bataillon, RIR 90.

Absolutely stunning! I only have a GR89 Enlistedman's Waffenrock, so it is nice to see the Officer's insignia.

I would like to show this oil painting. It was painted by Bernhard Zicken Draht. He also painted the Kronzrinzen. I would also sell the picture. Unfortunately, it cannot be sent because it is very large.

Here's my M1868 NCO Pickelhaube unit marked to the 89th. A French flea market dealer had it.

Why do I always end up at the wrong flea markets?

Un joli Strelitzer. Oh, posséder ce Pickelhaube...

J'adore cette photo. Encore une curiosité anormale. Une pointe de Mecklenburg, avec une plaque Strelitz !!!
