Hi, yes - the 1913 catalog is great! The complete catalog has 300 pages. I assume the reprint is only for the military items (without civilian items, hunting, furniture, tobacco & other assesoirs, ...). There is another reprint catalog, but the one from 1913 is better. ;) Best regards, Jens

... you mean this picture with the brass emblem for officers: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/attachments/adlerevtldr1-jpg.52176/ Yes - there is an arcanthus flower on the sceptre with a long sword (up to the bandeau). But the tail feathers are shorter, the body slightly thicker and the beak is...

Hi, I hope I have now understood everything correctly, but I suspect that Philippe is mainly annoyed that someone is presenting an object from his collection as “falsified” * and I can understand that. (but in my opinion, this is probably more an unfortunately misunderstanding) But I don't...

Hello, perhaps I should have formulated it more clearly - sorry, but English is not my native language and also I overlooked some important details. What I actually I can say is that your emblem does not correspond to the official specifications for the DR3. This is also shown by the sample of...
