Ok lads, I'm going to need you help again. I've picked up some more possible Preußische Versuchshelme Model 1905/06, but I need some more experienced people to be sure they are not repairs. Dated 1915.

Interesting pictures Chris. They are not the first asian or asian looking guys ive seen, but the one picture where one is wearing a very un german looking cap does suggest some exchange indeed. In my picture however, theyre probably just eurasians enrolled in the german army. Ill upload it asap...

Lined up this week: Musiker of the "Kaiser Alexander" Garde-Grenadier-Regt. Nr.1 with Miter helmet Some info: Small CDV by Atelier Postlep in Berlin providing a very nice - and scarcely met - view of how the men of the 1st Guard Grenadier Regiment "Emperor Alexander" looked like in parade...

#2 Some info: Unused postcard showing a soldier of Rfa501, as evidenced by the oval “501” sleeve patch on his M1915 Feldbluse with guard lace on the collar. Prior to his service with Riesenflugzeug-Abteilung or later Riesenflieger-Abteilung Nr. 501, this man had training at...

I was sure it was visible to everyone, so I uploaded it elsewhere as well.

I would like to share with you guys a little project of me and Rui, which involved the restauration and colorization of period original military photography (Imperial Germany). I just deliver the pictures and part of the info, so all credit for this time-consuming task goes to Rui, who does...

Hi Glenn, thanks for dropping by - I've been trying to reach you for a while already, butmy flickr and pickelhaubes pm's didn't seem to reach you. I figured you would have the answer!

Note translated: Zur Erinnerung an Gewehr 4 1. Komp. M.G.S(charf) S(chützen) Abteilung v(on) Lutz im Juli 1919 So, Freikorps. But which one?

Picture showing Oberst Christoph v. Ebbinghaus (1856-1927), commander of Infanterie-Regiment „Kaiser Friedrich, König von Preußen“ (7. Württembergisches) Nr. 125 during WWI. Records of the regiment mention that the total losses were 3,949 killed and 9,017 wounded during WWI. These records...

Thanks Chip!

Indeed it is! No, sorry, I don't have that book...

I've picked up an interesting card a while ago and I noticed they have a small shield-shaped insignia on their sleeve. Does anyone have a clue on the unit/the meaning of the patch? There are no shoulder straps to help us out. Could it be Freikorps? I still need to get the note on the back...

Some interesting examples from my collection. More info via the links. - Kampfstaffel 6 (Kasta 6) of Kampfgeschwader I Obersten Heeres Leitung (Kagohl 1) - bomber squad http://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoid_womb/6298313821/in/photostream/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false...

Interesting that one has the top piece of the Mehrteilige Drachtgabel (with the hook) visible. I've got a similar picture and it indeed looks like a communication outfit attached to a normal regiment.

Thanks for providing your opinion. I've also seen a similar picture in Wictor's book, which has also been discussed on pickelhaubes some time ago. Upon close inspection of the decal there, I'd say it looks different. Also, in the the decals seen on the picture I have, the stripe points in the...

Might indeed look more like a Nr.

Procured this card: As seen on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoid_womb/8657693722/in/photostream" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; What I could come up with so far: Postcard made in memory of the war 1914-1915. Name and unit are listed on the back. I hope we can this...

Hi guys, I found an interesting card. Most of the info I've found in Thomas Wictor's book or via personal communication. Your opionion is most welcome of course. Especially the gun is puzzling. As seen on flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paranoid_womb/8388042304/in/photostream/"...

Stunning collection! With the tunic with Jäger Abzeichen and the rifle, it is hard to tell what's most amazing.
