I have found Collani in several places in the 1914-1918 Ranglist. The letters .a.D. appear after his rank in some listings. What does this mean?

Thank you, Glenn. So much appreciated.

This isn't Pickelhaube related, but like many Imperial collectors, my interests extend beyond headgear and one of my focuses is on Imperial German Army veteran organizations and their pins. Here is one for a monument dedication on 5 October 1924 for the 3. Garde-Feldartillerie Regiment. I have...

Alan, Many thanks. I just was not clear on what the “O” before “PLM” meant. All clear now. Just waiting to see what Regiment he was in during the last months of the war and if he survived.

Glenn, another question or two ... What Regiment was the Major in at the end of the war and did he survive? I do not know what OPLM means? I noted the file name for your photo was labeled GIR 7. Was this Grenadier Regiment Nr. 7? Or something else? Thanks again. Mike

Terrific photo and info. He aged a bit. Thanks for all the help. Mike

Many thanks!

I just recently added this CDV to my photo and postcard collection. As can be seen on the reverse, it is a Hauptmann v. Collani in the image. Since the studio was in Angermunde, I will assume he was with the III. Batallion there as the rest of the regiment was in Prenzlau. The unit is...

Much appreciated.

What is everyone’s past experience with Kube regarding when items are shipped after the invoice is paid? Does he routinely provide Tracking Numbers?

The invoice came Monday, I won all my bids, money wired to Munich, and hope for a quick shipment via DHL.

I was bidding on the FR 73 but lost by a considerable amount. Please contact me.

It was Michael Everett I talked to about it. He was working the Thies tables. But I don’t think he is associated with them any more. Asking price was around $5K.

One at SOS back in 2018. It didn’t sell.

Jeff, drives you nuts doesn’t it. When they’re missing! Same here 👍🏻😁.

I missed on two. I’ve been going through the unsold lots and sometimes it’s obvious why they didn’t sell. But still reviewing them all. One of them I bid on was the FR 73. I really wanted that one.

It went for 4,100 Euros.

I had promised more pictures of the Tschako with its accessories and here we are. Mike

Just emailed you, James. Mike

Identifying the Trichter will help tell the story. I wish I could help. I also just got my first bush from a fellow member here but being a Bavarian officer, it was easy to identify.
