German Imperial Militaria

Hi Skipper, nice price and if im not mistaken? these should have an either a dark blue ribbon or even a light blue-or grey ribbon-one solid color. Ive seen these with I think one or the other? just can't remember off-hand? Dark Blue-one color ribbons usually were for long service medals-so it might be the lighter colored ribbon? Been too long since I last actively kept up with Imperial stuff.

My newest Verwundete Abzeige (wounded stick pin ) in Bronze!

 

Hi Skip, nice Imperial WB pin. This one looks like an early made pin because of all the great sharp details. Ive seen later made IWB pins and they don't look as nice. Great buy there ;-))

I had no salutes left so ya got the other.

 

Hmmmm a little quiet round here.....

2-medal bar to a Bavarian WW1 veteran..........Bavarian Military Merite Cross 3rd Class and 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class (marked on the ring. Possibly E.W.)

 

Class Andy !

 

Thanks for reviving this great thread Andy, especially with a nice pair of medals like that.

 

Thanks guys, glad you like them......very few people appreciate this type of 'history' round my parts

 

I like them too but, getting rid of most of my Imperial stuff real soon ;-))

 

Something new : 1914 Iron Cross 2nd Class (unmarked) and Hindenburg Cross of Honor (G4 marked). Good condition except for the little bit of damage to the Hindenburg ribbon ......it looks like something was attached to it at some point

 

Great items, sorry I hadn't seen them before, time to reactivate this fine thread, isn't it? Well here is my first German WWI Stalag dog tag. I didn't even know those exsited back then. It was issued to a French Sergeant and has the name of a famous WWI POW camp.

 

Nice item.
Hopefully attached is a [icture of my grandfather's Heinsberg Prison tag.

Hi Skipper,
Just found this site which has two pictures of French prisoners at Eglosheim. Might be of interest to you.

From what I know it was one of the biggests pow camps in the west. Possibly even bigger than Lambsdorf in the East .
