Handwriting inside Helmet

[tigerwitha88]

Anyone really good with translating this or can give a educated guess? If it matters its inside a Prussian Generals spike.

I can only read some text of the 2nd photo:
Rönnpage
Mölln
i. Lbg. (I think it stands for „in Lauenburg“, which was Duchy of Lauenburg back then)
There is a little more on the right-hand side in Kurrent (the old German script), but due to the light reflections, I can only decipher „De…“

I was thinking Ronnpagg Muller Rob

Yes, Rönnpage is a current name in Lauenburg.
It would be nice to see the whole helmet...

There is a Johann Rönnpage listed as fallen in WWI from Friedrichsruh/Hzgtm. Lauenburg - and that was someone elses home…

Cheers Peter

Thanks everyone for the help. Philippe here’s a picture of the helmet.

I think this helmet already has been discussed here:

This one looks good to me and untouched, it is named to Rönnpage.

Any help re finding ‘Rönnpage’ on the Officers list would be appreciated.View attachment 1View attachment 2View attachment 3View attachment 4

Thanks, would be good if the pictures were still there.

Yes, it sure would. But that's the result of the Photobucket disaster. Many of my pictures have been not available since, thanks to them.

It’s „Mölln“ I think. It also makes sense, since "Mölln" was a village in the Duchy of Lauenburg.

 

[Gunner who?]

Would be interesting to get a nice picture of the other inscription.

 

[tigerwitha88]

I’ll try and take another picture of it when I get back to it. It’s most likely the helmet in the other thread posted. I sold this helmet at the 2019 sos and just got it back.
