Here is a neat one I recently received, showing 1920s Reichswehr troops in Berlin carrying the old colors of the Imperial era.

Thank you, @John Josef and @b.loree! Great detail in these ones.

Thank you, Jens, for that extra information! A nice bonus is on the back of each photo, all the men are identified. I will have to search the Verlustlisten to see if any of their names appear.

I got in this nice set of photos the other day, all from IR117. Note all the Kaiser Shooting Prizes, which seem to have the date 1913.

I got in this very nice RPPC yesterday and figured you all would enjoy it!

Here is a close-up of a photo from my collection showing a few Officers attending the Kaiserin's funeral.

Somebody beat me as well!

You are off to do great things, Dane! And with the new income, I am sure your collection will grow exponentially! If you are going active duty, make sure to check out any militaria shops that may be in your area. I had a great one near St Louis that I miss a lot!

PM sent!

Red rot is the kiss of death on items... Hate to see it! I always think of a Saxon M1915 Pickelhaube I bought when I lived in St Louis. The outside was gorgeous, but the liner was toast. Crumbly, red, falling to pieces.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE photo and helmet!!!

Here is another example from my collection of Officers wearing the badge

I am jealous! Tony is one incredible guy, a scholar and a gentleman!

I've never seen this set before. How cool! My Dad, a big Wilhelm II fan, would love to see these.
