Really looking forward to that, thanks for the link!

Bill Still interested in posting a Thread on Commission Rifle regarding this 88, if you are interested. That was the one from SOS, no? Could you send me a link to the yahoo site please? Happy Easter, George

I am joining this discussion late. Thanks for the chance to view these! :cheers: On chapter one I was surprised that they said that the British site was definitely not German because of the lace up boots. They were right about it being British yes, but as we all know German soldiers were...

Landsturm, and a nicer example would be hard to find! This is the one on the siderail? A Nosecap on an 1891 Loewe "S" turned up recently. None matching to the action/barrel jacket. Never the less, an outstanding example of a Landsturm regimental stamp: L. OP. 4. 147.

Nice clear photo, you can see the cartouches in the butt stock! Who paid $127.50 for a pc? Was it a banjo player? I just was reading a forum where a couple of the members were lamenting the days when photos were going for $3.00 a piece.

Brett That is THE most awesome Landsturm photo yet, even if it is contrived / posed for. I really like this one! :occasion5:

Came across a Prussian cockade recently that I picked up for my LG helmet that has the screw type attachments for chin scales & cockades. It is a mannschaft Prussian cockade, but it is 55mm, and it is larger than the cockades on my M15. The center hole is about 8mm and fits perfectly onto the...

Have you tried contacting the US Army Artillery Museum, Fort Sill, Oklahoma? They have several of these if memory serves me. They could possibly be a big help in the restoration as far as research information goes. http://sill-www.army.mil/Museum/HOME%20PAGE.htm

There was a Hotel National in Strasbourg prior to WWI. Here is a link to a steamer trunk / luggage decal from the Hotel circa 1910: www.internationalposter.com/poster-details.as px?id=FRL18580 Hotel National - Strasbourg

Gus You will have the Big Commander's job soon! It is an art form! XIth Armee Korps! Gera formed 2 Landsturm Btlns: 2. Ldst.-I.-Btl. Gera (XI. 13), 2. Ldst.-I.-Btl. Gera (XI. 25). There are only 35 Btlns. listed in Busche for the XI A.K.. I have a photo of an 83rd Btln. that I have not...

This is the third example of the dogs mounted in this fashion I have seen in as many weeks. Is there a date? I don't see a batallion mentioned either. Reading that style handwriting is an art form!

Hi All A friend is seeking a copy of Jeff Noll's "The Imperial German Regimental Marking". Any one have a lead? Thanks a bunch! Geo

This is not a period squadron patch, but I am sure you all will get a kick out of it anyway. The 4th Pursuit Group started forming up on October 25, 1918 at Toul, France. It was assigned to the then new 2nd Army Air Service which had been formed on October 12, also at Toul. The first squadron...

These are hard to find un-matched! You have two of the Grails that I have searched for quite some time now! Good for You! And thanks for posting these pics, just fantastic!

:o That is absolutely marvelous! My hat's off to you! :bravo: :headbang:

That is in awesome condition. A beauty!

That looks like one, but is most likely the Pfm 71/98. They were used by the Ostasiatisches Expeditions-Korps, specifically by the Pionier-Batallion. The East Asian Expeditionary Corps were the first German troops to be armed with Gewehr 98 rifles in 1900. The Pfm 71/98 was made by removing...

Brett Thanks for the kind words. I am but the Grasshopper, I owe a debt of gratitude to Master Po (Joe), and Master Kan (Tony). Love all these photos, you see something new everytime you look at them! You might recognize that totally excellant Garde Landsturm wappen from one of Johan Somers...

Hey! Isn't this the album cover of "Fandango"!
