Hi, here something about the Säkulärspangen. Best regards, Jens "Unsterbliche Treue Das Heldenbuch der Fahnen und Standarten des deutschen Heeres", Berlin 1935.

Hi, in the catalog "Rang und Dienstgradeabzeichen" (Museum Rastatt, page 11) a similar monogram Paul Friedrich Emil Leopold von Lippe is shown, the rank crown is also a Fürsten-Hut. (the Inf-Rgt. 111 and the bavarian 2nd Inf.-Rgt. also had the Fürsten-Hut in their chiffre). I suspect the modern...

Steve, I agree - I think also the monogram is a "P L" or "L P", the rank crown should probably be a Fürsten-Hut. Greetings Jens

Steve, yes exactly - the story behind this flag auction in 1999, after the fall of the wall in an East German school (on the attic) these twelve flags (incl. accessories) should have been found!??? So or so similarly the story was told me - but no idea this is really the truth!!! What happened...

... I get the IR145 strap from Chip around 2005/2006. I met Chip in summer 2008 in Germany - see. Chip told me about his trip to the army museum and it was also allowed for him to go into the depot to open & watch everything. He was amazed how much rare and unknown things were stored in the...

I am shocked and sad to hear that Chip died last year. I remember that his parents and then his wife were not well and then we unfortunately lost contact. I remember (about 2005/6) the first Skype conversations with Chip. In the beginning I didn't have a camera for my Skype and Chip said I...
