Just a great standard for your collection. I'm glad it's back in "Western" hands.

Almost 6 feet 11inches ! He could play in the NBA.

Thanks for the memories.

Thank you for the information! Kyle

I am looking for the same thing for the city of Lübeck . Are they actually the same? Not sure.

Thank you very much ! Kube never responded to my inquiry. I won 1 out of 7 bids. now I can spend my money on something else .

Here are the Regiment 117 shoulder boards on top of the WWI Regimental History.

Great post -1902 stein of Hessian Regiment 117 . At least you bought it that way. You do see plenty of these steins for sale with the caveat that the" top has been repaired " so somebody knew ( or knows) how to do it. I just found and purchased a pair of mint lieutenant 117 shoulder boards...

Thanks for the short update Steve. I find it amazing that you have an ally in the Kube auction room that can bid for you in real time . I dutifully have mailed my paper bid sheet to him for 40 years . Sometimes they even arrived on time! On the bright side I think about all the money I have...

Congratulations Henk on finding a PDF copy of the Regiment 4 von Schill book by Georg Buch in Regensburg.

Henk, I have all the WWI regimental histories of the Prussian Cuirassier Regiments except Nr. 3 ,which apparently was started but never finished. However , I am not selling any at the moment. Is there any particular information that you are interested in? Abebooks is a good source to...

So just maybe he will include the results with the mailing of Auktion 149 scheduled for the 17th of May so he can save himself the postage? Just guessing!

Has anyone received the result list to Kube's Auction 148 , 29 March 2025 ? I bid on 2 items and according to his post auction sale list they were sold. I must have lost again. I would just like to know sooner than later. As noted above ,no modernization in the foreseeable future for Herr Kube!
