I rarely have my items displayed in a grouping, and decided to set up a display for the last Etobicoke show. The pictures my dad took at the show weren't the best, so I took some additional pictures at home before dismantling everything again.
The M07/10 Foot Artillery tunic is dated 1915 and V Korps marked for Posen. The collar is a period upgrade M1915 model usually seen on the M15 Bluse. The shoulder boards are the only items not original to this tunic. The tunic shows signs of extensive field wear and exposure to the elements, with some small patches and repairs here and there.
Items and dates:
K98a, Erfurt 1915 (1915 or 16 dated sling)
M84/98 nA sawback bayonet, Erfurt 1915
Cavalry Y-straps, Berlin 1915
Bread bag, Hannover 1915
M1911 Cavalry ammo pouch, 1915
Modified M15 (first model) gas mask carrier bag/contents, Berlin undated
Spare GM17 11-C-11 filter carrier pouch, markings illegible
M15 canteen, undated
M1916 Cavalry ammo pouch, 1918
M18 Steel Helmet, (after August 1918)
Prussian belt and buckle, 1910
Although most of the items chosen are dated 1915, the display is meant to represent a late war set up, most notably represented by the M18 Stahlhelm.
