Faces only a mother could love evilgrin That aside - excellent photo.

That makes sense. Thanks mate =D>

Tony Meldahl is selling a copy now on Ebay but I'm not sure if the quality is going to be any better than the one you already have. http://www.ebay.com/itm/WWI-original-photo-camo-M1916-Helmets-Sturmbataillon-Nr-5-Rohr-/110746081560" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

This was a popular card Pierre, and has appeared many times on Ebay in varying guises - sometimes with a letter, sometimes without. My copy has a letter around the border as well as the back, authored in July 1916, it was sent home by a fellow from 3. Landw. Co. 13 Pions. 7. Landwehr Div...

Pionier Regiment 24. I think there were only seven - or thereabouts Pionier-Regimenter. Does anyone have any gen on these fellows? :-k 4 Ers. Komp. Pionier Regt. 24 by drakegoodman, on Flickr

:o Shortest poll in history. Überzug it is. P.S. Stunning photos mate.

Wachstuch Überzug - or Manöver Tschako? I'm leaning towards the former. Sachs by drakegoodman, on Flickr Manöver Tschako at Kaiser's Bunker

Spot - on! That's exactly what I was after mate. Your "plain old FAR25" serves as a much better comparison than the small line drawing variant I was looking at =D> I'm really hoping someone publishes a complete set one day so I can stop pestering you guys [-o< . Maybe they already have, in...

Spot on Chip. It is a small Granate mit einer Flamme. The link directly underneath the photo will take you to a large 2080 x 3130 picture where the straps of both fellows can be examined in better detail. I made a comparison with the example of the cypher on page 240 of the Verzeichnis und...

A small milestone for yours truly. Three years ago I didn't know a pickelhaube from a pickled egg, thanks largely to this forum, I can now hold my own when it comes to haggling with a gnarly French postcard seller over the price of a portrait of a Landsturmmann with a crazy Überzug. Special...

It's a great forum Tony - and like the others I haven't read the rules either. Any WW1-related forum where you are NOT a member, is poorer for it. How about reconsidering and making it a really great forum :-k

Brian, regarding the trio of 'haubes / alleged Canadian Budweiser photo. The awesomeness of that photo cannot be overstated or diminished - unless of course your fly was open. (Wife picked it up when I was showing her what I want for Christmas. Read into that what you will).

That one put me off my breakfast. That guy seems to have his own manufacturing shop.

Exquisite!
