Can anyone help me interpret this line from the 1914-1918 Rangliste? The line is on page 216 for IR 55. "Bohme v. 22.3.18 b. Maricourt" Thanks for any help you can provide. Jim

Beautiful job of restoration Brian, well done! Congratulations Steve on another fine acquisition (or should I say re-acquisition) to your collection. I also have one of the 15 Reserve Officer helmets for PB10. Jim

Beautiful helmet. I love the Reserve pieces. Please DON'T clean it. The patina adds so much character. That is a great addition to anyone's collection. Jim

I have a Field Artillery OYV with Officer furniture, EM Kockarden and round topped fasteners for the Kugel. It has an owner's label in it that clearly identifies it as a OYV, Jim

I'll have a table and will be there Thursday through Saturday. Please stop by and say hello. Jim Turinetti

We all started somewhere. You have a very nice collection. Thanks for sharing it with us. Jim

The officer's helmet looks good except, I couldn't see the knurled ring around the spike. If it isn't present, the spike is a replacement and not correct. Jim

Thank you Bruno and Glenn. I could say that the switch on the chin scales was a test to see who was watching, but that would be lame. Let's just attribute it to old age and be done with it. Thanks for catching the flip flop Bruno. Glenn, thanks for the info about the Telegraph officer...

My thanks to all of you who responded to my request. I believe that since the Tschako has silver chin scales it is for an officer in either the Luftschiffer or Telegraph units. The Mountain Troops wore a brass chin scale. I was hoping that someone would be able to find a Rangeliste reference...

I recently got this Württemberg Tschako and I'm looking for any information that you all might have regarding it. I think the name on the sweat band is Krone and the word below the name is _____ Korps.

Regarding the MAX, since the OVMS took it over I think it has improved. Last year's show was definitely the best MAX I've been to in at least 10 years. I'm looking forward to a good show. I'll have a table, please stop by and say hello. (Unfortunately, I can't accept credit cards, but a good...

Hi Joe, My German Military dictionary translates Ordönanz as Orderly. I'm not good at posting photos, I'll send a photo to your email address if you could please post it. Thanks Jim

Adler and Joe, Thank you very much for your help. I had thought that it wasn't until 1900. This info will help me a lot. Jim

Does anyone know when officers changed from the leather petals to the silk/cloth lining in the helmets? I've heard that it was the vogue to have silk/cloth lining at the turn of the 20th century. Does anyone know anything about this?

As Steve said, when the EGRzuFus got their new mitres, they passed the old ones to the corresponding Company in the KAGGR. The mitres with the banners had the banners removed and just the holes remained. Here are some photos of one of these mitres. [/url][/img]
