    Interesting that the Principality posted it out to him without any sort of covering, I assume this must have been standard procedure.

    Richard, Great internet find. Thanks for hunting that one down and sharing. I agree yours does seem to be some sort of award document, it looks in really good condition as well. Nice item to own.

    Odd Lippe doc/post

    Graham B replied to Richard Auld's topic in German Empire & Weimar Republic

    The post card picture is of Adolf II, Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_II,_Prince_of_Schaumburg-Lippe I cannot make out most of the writing on the document, but it seems to come from or belong to someone from Bückeburg, which is a town in the old principality of Schaumburg-Lippe. Dated 23rd February 1914. Sorry not much help I am afraid.

    A couple of my wound badges, these are the 'Cut out' types. A Silver IWB marked E.S.(maybe for the manufacturer Eugen Schmidhäußler, Pforzheim?) If anybody knows for sure please can you let me know. Thanks.

    I am no expert but it looks similar to a WW1 M1917 USA 'Doughboy brodie' helmet.

    BWB Maker KB

    Graham B replied to Woundbadge's topic in German Empire: Orders, Awards & Decorations

    I think the manufacturer KB is Koch & Bergfeld of Bremen.

    Two cased MVK3 Bayern

    Graham B replied to Hans Kondor's topic in German Empire: Orders, Awards & Decorations

    I think the case on the left is for a 3rd class with a crown. The one on the right is a 3rd class without a crown. Whereas both medals shown are without crowns.

    1870 Godet EK1

    Graham B replied to GWilliamson's topic in German Empire: Orders, Awards & Decorations

    A stunning Godet 'Type B' with its core still intact. Do you still own it?

    Hodge, I agree with Ben and think believe your cross is a Jacob Leser Type 3 with a matching case. Regards, Graham

    Rudolph Singule EK1, a speacial piece

    Graham B replied to Amiklic1's topic in Austrio-Hungarian Empire

    Amiklic1, Great information and collection. The engraved EK1 in the case looks like a sandcasted Johann Wagner & Söhne. Does it have any makers marks on it? Regards, Graham
