This is one of those truly fascinating discussions worthy of being set aside so it doesn't go by the wayside. Is there a hall of fame here? :D Thanks guys. Never heard of the Dreyfus Affair until I read about it here - or was it there (Flickr?). It takes a while for the news to filter down...

Kgl. Sächs. 1. (Leib-) Grenadier-Regiment Nr.100.

These guys' shoulder-straps are tantalisingly indiscernible ... aren't they? (Looks in Chip's direction). I have a hunch they're Saxon Leib-Grenadier. Untitled-Scanned-02 by drakegoodman, on Flickr Untitled-Scanned-02 shoulder by drakegoodman, on Flickr Unused - not a thing on the back.

Yes, an excellent job. Well done =D> One question, where the hell did you get your Buntfarbenaufdruck couch?

Better late than never. P.S. It's not a parrot :wink: XII. See-Bataillon / Marine Luftschiff Abteilung II by drakegoodman, on Flickr XII See-Batl. by drakegoodman, on Flickr

Well done on the seamless transition.

Exceptional images! Well done on a great collection :D Brett (I wish these were on Flickr and not Picassa).

First class! An excellent article - as always. I can see now why you wanted that picture, however you have more than adequately compensated with your unique mix of period photographs and contemporary images from your superb collection. As for the use of my photos in this and future projects...

Certainly a unique photo for a couple of reasons, not least being the age of some of the 'men' present, although the author looks about the right age. Class of 1920? It looks like they're wearing chest covers similar to the ones mentioned in Kraus' book, designed to protect the tunic from wear...

Looks like the letter on reverse was actually sent by Edgar Blank to his Eselführer friend in Ersatz Infanterie Regiment 32. I wonder what became of him?, there's no mention of an Edgar Blank in Gräbersuche Online, so I suppose that is a good sign. Edgar Blank auf seinen Kunstreisen an der...

Chip, Thanks for the detailed response. I know your services are highly sought after and I appreciate you taking the time to call back. By agreeing with me that you have identified a need for a reference on the subject, you have allayed my fears that I was missing an essential reference...

Much better. I wonder what the first model looked like?

Not having a clue as to who or what the St. Pauli Girl was, I was obliged to run her through the usual indices. "The 'St. Pauli girl' of the label represents a prostitute of St. Pauli's red-light district, the Reeperbahn." :-?

Remarkable photo. These are exactly the sort of pictures I would normally 'chase' on certain online auction sites. Well done.

A link to the German ones (naturally). But there are all kinds from all the belligerents. http://www.vintaga.com/posters/world-war-i/germany/more-posters/

Chip, Have you ever considered putting out a complete - or as close to a complete list as possible, of shoulder straps / boards / epaulettes? I know you have contributed to many many projects over the years and your name is synonymous with Imperial German uniforms, however, being relatively new...

Thanks Pierre, I had seen that book for sale a couple of times and was wondering if it was worth getting. I think you have answered my question. Cheers!

Glad to be of service.

Too right. I was like a fat kid on a Smartie (Aussie confectionery) when I saw it up for the taking :D I may not be able to tell the difference between a M1895 and M1915, except when the spike's missing, but something that obvious stands out even to a novice like me. Thanks for the link to your...

Don't see too many of these - or do you? Dated 2 March 1916 on reverse. Filzhelm leather visor by drakegoodman, on Flickr
