I am in favour of respecting objects that have aged gently for over 100 years. You don't give an elderly person a facelift either. The result would be anachronistic, not to say ridiculous. But that´s only my two cents too. Collectors who mostly engage in this type of ‘restoration’ often achieve...

Yes, I agree. You can also find some name tags in other places on a helmet: between the loops but inside the rear of the shell too, or even on the neckguard. And they can be made of paper or even of cloth. Philippe

No officer with this name at the JR92 (n) http://dfg-viewer.de/show?tx_dlf%5Bdouble%5D=0&tx_dlf%5Bid%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fdigital.wlb-stuttgart.de%2Fmets%2Furn%3Anbn%3Ade%3Absz%3A24-digibib-kxp175005888X7.xml&tx_dlf%5Bpage%5D=609&cHash=dafe791898963809876c79e3de400ad1 Philippe

Hi Bruno, Yes, that´s a second variant (y) You must always check the following thing: if the last letter of the abbreviation is indeed an ‘l’ , it is higher than the preceding ‘t’. In this case, we have “Bataillon” . If the last two letters are identical, as in your example, Bruno, then we have...

Hey Cloclo, It's one of my favourite sports 🤗 😂😇 Philippe

Field artillery regiments were subdivided into two or three Abteilungen. Foot artillery regiments were subdivided into two or three Bataillonen. Most of the time, each of those Abteilungen and Bataillonen comprised three Batterien. Here, because we are in a Rekruten Depot of a Fußartillerie...

Same remarks + question! 😊 Maybe some stamps inside the shell too? Philippe

Beautiful helmet that I missed! The patina is awesome! Please, let it as it is. Philippe

Bruno, I see that you know the wonderful L´Argonnaute (y) A real photographic treasure! Philippe

Bruno, https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/1359603 Franz Gaede II, 5/GR89, KIA near Carlepont between 9 and 25.12.1914. The history of the GR89 tells us that the French, accompanied by colonial soldiers, attacked the GR89 lines on 21 December 1914, particularly the trenches of the 5th and...

Maybe Johann Siefkes, 7/GGR4 , Königin Augusta (KAGGR.4) https://des.genealogy.net/search/show/4781409 Philippe

Bruno, I admire your calmness and patience. If I were you, I would have exploded immediately. Philippe

Hi Pierrick. It seems I missed this post and your other one on the French forum. Congratulations! It´s a great find! Philippe

Bruno, I have the impression that it was you who was the target of that remark. Mais peut-être que Monsieur Canrobert aurait la gentillesse / la courtoisie de préciser le but de sa remarque, et si cette dernière visait vraiment notre ami Bruno, qui est l´un de nos plus vénérables et...

Hi Jeff, Only one set of holes behind the Wappen, no double holes in the shell? Philippe

Hi, Do you maybe see a penciled name in it? The cross on the globe seems to have been resoldered? Philippe

Leutnant Lothar Paasch, Kompanie Führer 2/12 was also awarded the Kreuz der Ritter des königlichen Hausordens von Hohenzollern mit Schwertern (01.11.1918): https://portal.dnb.de/bookviewer/view/1031434178#page/205/mode/1up He was lightly wounded during the Summer 1916...

The same as yours: Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg / Kriegsstammrollen 1914-1918. Philippe
