Glenn Thank you very much for that information. That is great to know, and I am pleased (and not surprised!) to learn that I had misread the Ehrenrangliste! Steve Great photo All the best Michael

Good question. I have just looked at The German Infantry by Herr and Nguyen and according to them, after a decree on 12 March 1887, white leather equipment (in the case of infantry) was restricted to the Guards Regiments and Grenadier Regiments exclusively and all other infantry regiments ( and...

Thanks very much Steve. Of course I don’t mind you adding to the thread. What an amazing collection - but that seems to apply every time you post a photo! All the best, Michael

Another silver presentation cup. This time presented to Oberleutnant Von Schweinichen by the officers of IR76 in 1913. Oberleutnant Von Schweinichen served in the Regiment from 18 August 1898 until 22 March 1913. He then joined Danziger Infanterie Regiment Nr 128 and appears in the 1914...

Thanks very much Steve. Yes, I was quite lucky in that my mother loved auctions and antique stores and every so often she would find something she thought I might be interested in. One of my best Christmas surprises was to find 3 Gew ‘88s waiting for me ( we lived in Canada then and gun laws...

Very nice picture, Bob. You are correct, there was no 3rd Guard Dragoon Regiment. It looks like the the cypher on the kettledrum cover is a “V” which would make it 1st Guard Dragoon Regiment. Michael

What an amazing trio! Fantastic helmets as usual, Steve. Thanks for posting. All the best Michael

Very nice, Brian and well worth putting right. Now I see why you posted a request for neusilber side posts! All the best Michael

Very nice tunic and informative post. You have answered a question I have had since I first saw that tunic in an auction catalogue a couple of years ago. It was listed as an infantry nco’s feldbluse circa 1916, and it stated that the shoulder straps were replaced, which sort of made sense as...

Amazing collection. Looking forward to seeing more! Michael

Great news, Brian. I hope your journey is pain free and you have a speedy recovery! All the best, Michael
