Landsturm bunker - armoury.
This was a "second chance offer" I received on Ebay. I paid nothing like the original sale (or should I say no-sale) price, which initially caused me some suspicion. But now in possession of the photograph I'm comfortable with the decision to shell out 20 odd Euro for it. A one in a million pic with lots to peruse and scrutinise.
Some items of note:
(i) The sign on the back wall "Warschau gefallen 5.VIII 1915".
(ii) The Leuchtpistole hanging on the wall. 2 x 1895 Hebels and a spur-trigger Druckknopf if I'm not mistaken.
(iii) Three signal horns. Sorry, don't know the fancy German word it.
(iv) Gew 88 being utilised as a grenade launcher. Note the impressive recoil spring on the mechanism.
(v) Box of Diskushandgranaten.
(vi) Rifle grenades sans fuses.
(vii) Gew 88/05s.
(viii) Officer's pickelhaube (Landsturm überzug).
(ix) The officer has a boot knife tucked into his puttee as well as wearing his Bavarian Militär-Verdienstkreuz ribbon.
Unfortunately, nothing on reverse.
