This one could leave, but I can’t remember whether it is a kammerstuck ( on holiday now) I don’t think it has stamps but no double holes either as I remember well

I once bought a veteran association flag from the French army that fought in Greece ( Salonique), Text on the flag: anciens combatants d’orient , st Omer et la region 1915 1918 with crescent symbols on the silk tricole French flag

I once looked for years for a genuine Württemberg Feldzeichen to complete my tschapka/ ulanka set, and indeed a real sense of victory when finding one, and a hessian is even far more difficult, so I congrats, what a find and what an upgrade for your shako!!!! ( of cause I envy you a little bit...

Fantastic personal grouping of documents!

I realised that poitrine is chest, not belly

Vert nice personal set:!I would read the French text as following: 30 december 1915, hit by a gun bullet right side in his belly, which resulted in a penetrating wound with debris in his abdomen from parts of the shelter

indeed the are beautiful illustrated books, from the same author and publisher: ( I like the one you have best as I am a headgear collector as you are, but the other one is also nice) UNIFORMEN DER DEUTSCHEN INFANTERIE 1888 - 1915

By the way this is my metal helmet cavalry shelf with two tellermutzes and two schirmmutzen of the GDC, and the garde kurrassier regiment

That is interesting, enlisted men generally wore tellermutze (dunkelblau period), or kratchen ( later, feldgrau period) but they could also wear schirmmutzen without officer kokarde, so maybe it is fritz schluter and someone changed the kokardes later on? ( they seem period to the mutze),

I have the same question about this mutze, ponceau red with white piping, thus regular kurassier or Gdc ?

I posted an illustration of the shako in which another headgear item of the mountain troops is displayed, a ski cap very similar in design to the KUK kappe, must be extremely rare as only produced short time for limited number of units and probably used post war, I once saw one for sale on...

wow, I like those adrians with east european weapons / emblems

I'm not sure of this, but when I bought this JzP officer helmet from a very trusted dealer some years ago he said this one was special because the chinscales where blackened thus belonging to the sole regiment with that feature, at that moment, I was just very happy to score a JzP officer and...

Really nice

You said not much info available, I found this in an Osprey book: On the illustration is the shako, but also the special fieldcap for gebirgstruppen that is very hard to find

What a beautiful and rare piece, looking for one of those for a long time, So when selling let me know I think Erwin Rommel the famous desert fox served in that regiment as an officer during World War I and was very successful ( I think at Carporetto), (as my memory is correct, no Time to...

I did jump but few minutes too late

there is also a modern model of the Morser from the company Tacom available for modeling enthusiasts this one I constructed some years ago

Tragic story….

I also like the ‘chateau de l’empiri’ in the Provence and I earlier promoted the museum at Meaux, Also the heeresgschichliges museum in Vienna is stunning!!! Should the topic of museums not be ‘awarded’ with a special place on the forum site? Thus like other topics photos and enthousiast...
