I got in this nice set of photos the other day, all from IR117. Note all the Kaiser Shooting Prizes, which seem to have the date 1913.

I got in this very nice RPPC yesterday and figured you all would enjoy it!

Here is a neat one I got in yesterday that I thought you all may enjoy. I only have one other photo showing the M1905/06 Versuchshelm, but from a distance, so I was happy to add this to the collection!

This is a nice RPPC I got in a few days ago, showing three Fahnenträgers of 4. Magdeburgisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 67.

I wanted to share this with you all as it is quite odd. I think I have one other example in my collection showing a Feldrock with the same sleeves. Hopefully someone here might know why this was done!

I believe this is the only photo in my collection that shows black felt Pickelhaubes. The majority of the soldiers in the photo have gray felt Pickelhauben, and only one with a leather example. Has anyone ever seen a physical example of one of these? The soldiers have 168 on their straps, so I...

Here is a nice clear one for you all! Neat to see two Vulcanfibre Pickelhauben as well as a few nice Felt ones. You can tell they are the Vulcanfibre helmets by the three rivets on the visors.

I've had this photo for some years and just love it. How many times can you say you've seen a WW2 German soldier wearing a Pickelhaube? Willing to bet he was a veteran of the Great War.

Sadly, I am not sure where this was taken, but it is an interesting photo. Quite the array of helmets and gear collected, some having battle damage or lost parts.

I hope that you all will enjoy this nice photo, showing Uhlans of Königs-Ulanen-Regiment Nr.13. Half the Tschapkas look to be the normal leather-bodied examples, while half are felt. It makes for a good photo study! Two of the chin straps look to be Ersatz cloth examples as well.

Here is something you don't see all too often, the cook's Feldmütze in wear.

Hey all! This is one of two Pickelhauben I got in last week. I had only seen examples of these brass M1915s in a French reference book I own. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would be able to own one, but sure enough, one popped up! One side note - The spacing of the front plate loops...

Good afternoon, all! After a few year hiatus from Pickelhauben, I happened to get in two, one day after the other. To say I am thrilled is an understatement! This one is a Lacquered M1895 Filzhelm that my wife actually spotted on Facebook marketplace, of all places. I jumped on it as soon as I...

It's been a while, so I figured I would share one of my recent arrivals! Here is a nice studio portrait, showing a Jäger of Königlich Sächsische Reserve-Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 26.

Hello all! I am hoping that someone may be able to confirm my suspicions on this photo. I got it in with a grouping of other photos, and suspect that he may be an 1860s Mecklenburg Dragoon. I know they wore kepis. If not a Mecklenburger, I would certainly think a Dragoon of one of the other...

One era that I love to collect images of is the short-lived time period of the Provisional Reichswehr. They are not common, so to stumble upon them is always a nice surprise. Feel free to share what you may have in your collections!

What a curious photo... I know that the order at the left is the Saxon Albrechtsorden, but can anyone identify the neck order on the right? I am totally stumped. Thanks for any help!

Here is a peculiar one! The soldier at right was from Mecklenburgisches Jäger-Bataillon Nr.14, but his shako has the distinct front plate of Hannoversches Jäger-Bataillon Nr.10.

I believe this is the first time I've seen a German carrying one of these British grenades. What an odd looking thing!

A fun aspect of collecting photos is occasionally lucking out on a photo showing the Hanoverian Gibraltar cuff title, as worn by Jäger-Bataillon Nr. 10, Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 73, and Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 79. I will kick off this post with my most recent find, men of FR73.
