Unfortunately, there is no pistol.  I wish there was!

I am not a fan, in fact we have a similar (if not exactly the same) example that we are selling as a reproduction. https://militarycollectorshq.com/store-catalog/ols/products/reproduction-wwi-german-imperial-battle-flag-item-7719

I am not a huge fan of the ink stamps, as these can be easily added to a flag to make it more presentable and believable.   The U-29 ink stamp could be for a U-Boat (29). There were a boats designated U-29 (WW1 boat was sunk and all hands were lost on March 18, 1915) the WW2 U-boat U-26 keel was laid in 1936 and during the war saw seven war patrols and was decommissioned after the war and scuttled in May 1945.  I am very skeptical of this being the connection though to the U-boats.   I specialize mainly in Third Reich era flags and this is out of my wheelhouse but again I am skeptical about the ink stamps as many original flags have been destroyed with fake ink stamps and markings.   Just my thoughts.. I will have to more research on the flags/ink stamps on Imperial Flags   Best regards   Leigh     

I really enjoyed the show, thanks again for putting it together. Great exhibits as well!

Nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

Welcome to the WMF!

My Sunday score .. Japanese type 100 camera, wwII Kriegsmarine insignia, WWI pipes

Good morning. This is not my area of expertise. But I just acquired this and hoped to get some feedback. The consteuction looks very good to me and it has the aged look it should have. If good, I had two questions. 1) Is this a WWII era issue used for special occasions? 2) what is the meanibg of the "U-29" mark? Thank you for your time and expertise!

All, I recently picked this up at an estate sale and need help identifying it. Contains an image of French General Joffre on the upper left and a quote attributed to him during the battle of the Marne. Translated it reads  "Troops that can advance no farther must, at any price, hold on to the ground they have conquered and die on the spot rather than give way," Date is Sept 6-7 1914. This is mounted on marble or onyx and is very ornate. Weight is 17 lbs and measures approx 12" X 16: x 1" Does anyone have any input on what this is> Obviously far to ornate to present to the average soldier.... I can't help to wonder if it was presented to the general himself.

A new man in the unit?, a Private, no awards except that Hitler Youth one, then why the NCO Candidate cord on shoulder straps?, the Anti Tank Battalion, the  private is wearing a Field Grey Panzer uniform , with White Piping on the Collar.

Finished my display of the sands I collected while over there….love this piece

So far just has had the Hoheitsabzeichen sewn on
