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...

Hello, in my opinion a Garde-Adler without a star (the "arcanthus-sceptre-variation"), see the following posts: >https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/officer-helme-kir-145.14301/#post-96684 >https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/a-real-garde-adler-ohne-stern.19585/#post-147333 Your emblem...

John, good question, why Baden had Prussian cord. I didn't know myself and asked in a German forum and got the following answer. ;) Best regards Jens ******************* Baden sowie die Thüringer, Anhaltiner und Oldenburger waren sogenannte Kontingentstruppen in der preußischen Armee mit...

Hi, nice pictures - the 3rd company Inf.-Rgt. Nr.117 won the Kaiser-Abzeichen in 1911 & 1912.* Also interesting to see it together with the medic badge. ;) Thanks & best regards, Jens * https://wiki.genealogy.net/Kaiserpreis_(Schiesswettbewerb_von_1895_bis_1913)

Hi John, yes - unfortunately little damaged, but with the one-year-old cord also very, very rare! And therefore good that you saved it! ;) Thanks & best regards, Jens UR20: yellow epaulette, from 03. March 1890 crowned chiffre “W” and from 13. Nov. 1891 crowned chiffre “W” + small “I”. Steve...

Hi, here a color chart for one-year volunteers from the Ruhl (Die Uniformen der Deutschen Armee II ) Best regards, Jens http://web.archive.org/web/20151112111822/http://www.uniformology.com/RUHL-15.html

Steve, it is the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig, probably 1st July 1933 in Mainz at the inauguration of the memorial for the fallen of the Inf.-Rgt. No. 117. ;) Best regards, Jens

Hi, according to the military musician address book (Militär-Musik-Adressbuch / Deutsches Reich) S. 91: Sergeant Wilhelm Kliche (Pauken & Flöte) was in 1909 abkommandiert/detached (Nr.27): https://digital.staatsbibliothek-berlin.de/werkansicht?PPN=PPN1000999424&PHYSID=PHYS_0114&DMDID=DMDLOG_0001...

Steve, of course the flag oath picture is from the IR145! 😇 ... unfortunately I haven't heard anything more about the project, so I don't know anything more about it! And here are a few more pictures of flags. ;) Best reagrds, Jens

Best regards, Jens

Hi, the oath of allegiance / Fahneneid. ; - ) Best regards, Jens

Hi, yes - the Kaiser wearing the wrong helmet - but this was in May 1914. When the Emperor in 1914 visit the Inf.-Rgt.145 in Metz, the valet de chambre took out the false helmet (with the old emblem) for the Kaiser. ; - ) Best regards, Jens

Hi Steve, the general is probably the Commanding General of the XVIII. Army Corps (1904-1912) Hermann von Eichhorn. Best regards Jens

Hi, I agree with Steve - definitely not a dragoon officer on the picture. (Brandenburg cuffs - infantry helmet (with round front), etc. ... = infantry officer/lieutenant) Best regards, Jens

Hi, the officer wears between the EK1 and the silver wounded badge probably from Oldenburg (X. Armeekorps) the Friedrich August Cross 1st class (!?): https://www.ehrenzeichen-orden.de/deutsche-staaten/friedrich-august-kreuz-1-klasse-1914.html Are there any hints on the back of the picture...

Hi Steve, it is Gustav Sabac el Cher: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Sabac_el_Cher ;) Best regards, Jens

Hi, I also have a Guard eagle emblem without holes for the star (see attachment). Very unusual about my eagle is the extremely reddish gilding. Unfortunately I don't know anything about it, but I suspect that it could be a later production? (perhaps after 1918 until around 1945 ?????) And in my...

Steve, the NCOs keep the badge as long as they are in the same company in the regiment. ;) Best regards, Jens

Willi, Steve had already asked about this topic in the following post: https://www.pickelhaubes.com/xf/threads/kfggr-2.19093/ Unfortunately, we can't clarify the questions. ;) Best regards, Jens p.s.: "... The older insignia returned by the troops to the Clothing Section are to be reused as far...
