Pretty neat to have the Militarpas of someone who was awarded the enlisted equivalent of the PLM. Here I was looking for evidence of an EK1 and I might have ended up with something far rarer!

Gustaf, Here is a scan of the page three of Feldwebel Bartels Militarpas. It almost looks as if the entry is for te Verdienstkreuzmedaille. Any thoughts? Thank you, Foxdoublegunner

Gustaf, Thank you. Would you happen to know what page I might find that information on and do you know where I might b abek to look for the awards information? I have seen his name on a number of potcard type pictures associated with the unit and the unit was involved in the majority of the...

Gentlemen, I was able to acquire a Militarpas book for Feldwebel Bartels of the 111 Inf Regt (served from 1905-1919). Can any one tell me on which pages I might find entries about any awards or wounds which he might have received? The cursive writing makes it very difficult to decipher the...

A very nice example and excellent photography. Regards, "Foxdoublegunner"

A very nice Krug. It is good to know that this artefact has found a new home with someone for whom it has a special significance. Reservist Krugs in good condition are excellent memorabilia particularly when you are able to match them with other items from the same unit. Regards...

Badger, Very nice reservistkrug-nice strong colors and design. Does it have a lithopone in the inside bottom of the krug? You will need to shine a strong light from the outside bottom to see it. I really like the incorporation of the artillery fuze into the pewter top. Were you able to...

Gentlemen, After almost one year I was able to procure the final missing pieces to my M15 Pickelhaube marked to the 111 IR. This past week the mailman delivered a Baden cockade and spine nut to my doorstep thanks to "Age of Kings". Now I have a small display of items from the Regiment in...

Brian, Thank you, This is exactly what I needed to know. Regards, Foxdoublegunner

Gentlemen, Below is the link to the cockade in question http://www.ebay.com/itm/BADEN-WARTIME-ENLISTED-MAN-SPIKED-HELMET-COCKADE-/201447274487?ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Gentlemen, I am still on my quest for a Baden cockade to finish up my M 15 Pickelhaube marked to the 111th JR. This one just came up on E-bay and I would appreciate your opinions. It seems as if it is starting off a bit high in price and has different coloration than the one that I asked...

Sir, Thank you for your reply and insight. I was able to locate a Riechs cockade earlier in the year but these are the first examples of Baden cockades that I have seen come available on e-bay (or any other source for that matter) in almost a year. It appears that I am searching for this...

Gentlemen, These cockades just came up on e-bay. Am I correct in thinking that these are Baden cockades, are they original and would they be proper for my Baden M 15? http://www.ebay.com/itm/GERMAN-WWI-ORIGINAL-COCKADE-PAIR-SPIKE-HELMET-PRUSSIAN-GERMANY-WW1-PICKELHAUBE-/121781392426"...

Brian, Thank you for your insight. Yes, I have seen the pictures of the pickelhaube pyramids, leading one to believe that an enormous number made it through the war unscathed. Mine was definitely used but not abused and is properly unit marked so I doubt that it is a bond pickelhaube. As...

Gentlemen, How scarce are unit marked M 1915 Pickelhaube? I have one from Baden which appears to have been used but not abused and would like to have a general idea of how many of these might have been produced compared to the pre-war models. Thank you, Foxdoublegunner

Jim, Welcome to the forum. A lot of great info here and the people are friendly and forthcoming. I have learned much in the six months that I have participated. Foxdoublegunner

Skins, Welcome to the site. I am happy to see another new collector with an M15 Baden Pickelhaube. I picked up my first Pickelhaube, a unit marked Baden M15, this past Fall and paid the same price but it didn't have the kokardes nor a repro chinstrap so barring any internal signs of your...

Gentlemen, This is all excellent info. I have seen helmets with black chinstraps and some with brown. Is black most appropriate for the M15? Ricardo

Sir, Thank you, Ricardo

To Whom It May Concern, I sent out two PM's earlier today and noticed after an hour that they were stuck in the "Outbox" unsent. I re-wrote them, re-sent them and waited a couple of hours only to find that these also were stuck in the "OutBox". Is there something that I am doing incorrectly...
