Framed
Photographs
40-45 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH - DELUXE PATRIOTIC FRAME.
This is an amazing photograph in a high-quality patriotic frame. The frame
measures 5 1/8" x 3 1/8." The image within the frame measures 3
1/4" x2 1/4." The
photograph shows a man who appears to be in his 40's. He is wearing an Iron
Cross boutonniere in his buttonhole. Now what is especially interesting is
that it appears that oak leaves are directly above the Iron Cross. If this
is correct, then this would be for an 1870 Iron Cross 2nd Class
with the Twenty-Five Year Oak Leaves. I do not necessarily think the
photograph was taken during the war years. The frame is beautifully
manufactured. It is elaborately made. At the very top is a 1914 Iron Cross
surrounded by oak leaves. A swing away easel is attached to the frame’s
back, which allows display of both photo and frame. A manufacturer’s
hallmarking appears on the frame’s lower edge.

20-230 TWO SMALL PLAQUES
ON EASELS - KAISER WILHELM II AND KAISERIN
AUGUSTA VIKTORIA.
This is a fine pair of small
plaques that measure 2" x 1 1/2." They represent Kaiser Wilhelm II and his
wife, Kaiserin Augusta Viktoria. Each plaque displays the motto "Gott Mit Uns" at the top. The royal couple’s images are in high-relief. Their
birth dates are listed to the right or left of their heads. Below the
Kaiserin we read "Auguste Viktoria Kaiserin und Königin." Wilhelm’s
plaque displays the legend "Kaiser Wilhelm II." Both are decorative
and well-made. The two plaques are mounted on easels measuring 3 1/2" x 2."
When placed on a table, the Kaiser should be on the right and the Kaiserin
on the left, so they can look across at one another. They are quite
touching.

38-63 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - PRINCESS CECILIE AND HER
DAUGHTER. Princess Cecilie was one of the most popular of the royals in
Germany. She was a princess from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and was later married
to Wilhelm, Kronprinz of Germany, the oldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. She was
very involved in relief efforts in Germany, both before and during WW I. She
was an attractive woman. The people of Germany took her to their hearts, as
she was very good with people and quite photogenic.
This period-framed piece shows her with her baby, the Princess Alexandrine.
The frame is gilt and measures 12 1/2" x 9
1/2." The photograph measures 6" x 6
1/4." A
dedication in pencil is on the photograph, advising the cause that the
proceeds of the photograph would benefit. It is in wonderful condition, and
ready to hang on your wall.

40-256 FRAMED COLOR LIKENESS - PRINZ REGENT LUITPOLD - BAVARIA.
This
is a WW I era frame that measures 1 1/2" x 3 1/4." The image area measures 5
1/4" x 3 1/4." At the bottom is an area that measures 7 1/2" x 4 1/4," with
a 1914 Iron Cross. In the area for the image is a color likeness of Prinz
Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. He led Bavaria from 1886 (and König Ludwig II’s
death) until his own death in 1911. On the reverse is a foldaway easel.

LARGE FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - GENERALFELDMARSCHALL PAUL von HINDENBURG.
This is
a large, elaborately framed photograph of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von
Hindenburg. He is in a dress uniform. The matted photograph measures 12 1/2” x 8
1/2.” Below his image is a handwritten message with his reproduction signature.
Another matte helps set off the photograph to its best advantage. The photograph
is handsomely framed in an ornate gilt frame, which measures 24 1/2” x 20 1/2.”
Some chipping affects the frame at the top and bottom. This is quite reasonably
priced. It will look like a million dollars on your wall! Extra shipping will be
required on this item.

40-182 FRAMED CdV - GARDE-REGIMENT - PRUSSIA.
This is a most unusual photo frame housing a Carte de Viste from a
Garde-Regiment. The man is dressed in his uniform, with an overcoat over
his shoulders. He is wearing a pickelhaube with a black parade bush. The
Garde Star is clearly visible on his wappen. The photograph was
taken at a Berlin studio. The frame is quite intriguing. It is made from a
combination of four empty shell casings and six complete (deactivated[!])
bullets. At the frame’s top of is a kriegsflagge crossed with another
flag. An easel that permits the frame to stand on its own is attached to the
frame’s back. The frame and CdV make a very fine set.

40-64 FRAMED PHOTO - NAVY SAILORS - CHRISTMAS 1906 -
CHINA. This is a large-format, period-framed
photograph that shows a number of German sailors during Christmas of 1906,
while they served in China. The frame measures 10 1/2" x 14." The photograph within
the frame measures 6" x 8 1/8." The photograph was professionally taken.

40-165 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - ADMIRAL GRAF SPEE. This is a framed
lithograph or newspaper photograph of Vizeadmiral Graf von Spee. He was an hero early in WW I. He
brought his squadron east across the Pacific and defeated a British squadron
off the coast of Chile. Barely a month later, his squadron was defeated at the Battle of the Falklands. Spee and his two sons died in the action. The
photograph (in the frame) measures 11 1/2" x 8 1/2." The period frame measures
9" x 6."

40-290 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - SAILORS - KOMMANDO IN ADMIRALSTAB -
BERLIN 1907. This is a large, period-framed
photograph of sailors who served with the Kommando in Admiralstab
(Admirals’ Staff Command) in Berlin, 1907. A total of twenty-one men is
in the photograph, which uses a large kriegsflagge for background.
The photograph’s
matted area features information on their assignment and
year at the top. EACH man is identified at the bottom. The photograph
measures 8 1/2" x 11." A problem exists with the large-format photograph. You
will note a large number of what appears to be black dots. Something also
has begun with the developing process. Some of the faces are distorted and
difficult to decipher. The photograph and matte are in a period frame,
measuring 19" x 21 1/2." It is made of wood with a brass inner section and a
gilded inner trim. Glass covers the photograph. It is an amazing piece of history that is more than one-hundred-years-old.
It is bargain-priced. [Shipping
will be more costly due to its size and depending on its delivery
destination].

38-25 FRAMED LARGE-FORMAT PHOTOGRAPH - S. M. TORPEDOBOOT
D-161.
This is an original, period,
large-format photograph of S. M. Torpedoboot 161. The photo was
period-framed. It measures 8 1/2" x 11." While the frame is complete, it does
have chunks missing from the molding. The interior photo measures 12
3/4" x 17." It
shows the boat docked with at least three other torpedoboots, while a
couple of other boats are moving around the harbor. The photo is
double-matted. The name of the ship is clearly identified on the outer matte.

40-203 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - HIGH SEAS FLEET - KIEL.
This is a wonderful,
wide-angle, framed photo which shows the German High Seas Fleet (Die deutsche
Hochseeflotte) at anchor in Kiel. At least twenty different vessels are in the
scene. They range from battleships to smaller ships. Several of the ships are
building steam in their boilers and may be readying to sail. The photo was taken
with a wide angle lens in order to get this many ships in the photo. It measures
27 1/2” x 11 3/4.” Its brown, period, wooden frame measures 5
3/4” x 22.” Two hooks are at the
top with which to hang it. It is a great photo.

40-204 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - MATROSEN DIVISION SAILORS - CHINA.
This is a
wonderful framed photograph that shows a group of enlisted sailors (thirteen
men) standing and kneeling with rifles. They are part of a Matrosen-Division.
Two petty officers are also among the group on the back row. The photo is dated
1910, and was taken at Wilhelmshaven. On the reverse, August Kläfkr, one of the
men’s names, is penciled in. He was born in 1887 and assigned to 1. Kompagnie
II. Matrosen-Division (though not at birth[!]). He also noted that from
1910-1912 he served in East Asia (Ostasien) aboard the S. M. Torpedoboot S90.
The photo measures 6 1/2” x 9.” The period brown frame measures 11” x
14 1/2.” A very good
chance exists that he served during WW I.

40-205 LARGE-FORMAT - DECORATIVE PHOTOGRAPH - SAILOR - MATROSEN-DIVISION.
This is a deluxe, matted photograph celebrating a sailor’s service. The
photograph measures 6 1/8” x 9.” A total of thirteen sailors are lying down,
kneeling, and standing with rifles. In the center of the back row are two petty
officers. Each sailor wears a mutze with a Matrosen-Division cap tally. The
matte on which the photograph is placed is cardboard pre-decorated with naval
motifs. It measures 13 1/2” x 16 3/4.” Some damage appears on the matte’s edges. No
markings or identifications appear on the reverse.

40-207 FRAMED REICHSMARINE PHOTOGRAPH.
This is an interesting photograph,
which dates from the 1920's. It shows a group of twenty-eight officers on what I
believe is a Cruiser. The first row shows the ship’s senior officers, many of
whom are wearing the 1914 Iron Cross 1st or 2nd Class. I also see an Iron Cross
1st Class equivalent from Oldenburg and Mecklenburg-Schwerin on a tunic or two.
The ship’s commander is readily visible in the middle of the front row. He is
wearing the uniform of a Kapitän zur See, complete with an old-fashioned,
winged-collar shirt. As a matter of fact, as I look more closely at the EK 2
ribbon in his buttonhole, I believe I see the crown and crossed swords of the
Knights Cross with Swords of the Hohenzollern House Order! The photo, which
measures 5” x 7 1/4,” is housed in a period brown wooden frame measuring
6 1/2” x 9.”
This is a real research project for the right collector.

FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - SEVEN TORPEDOBOOTS.
This is a high-quality,
framed photograph of seven Torpedoboots tied up beside each other out
in a channel. Among them I can see the S-11, S-7, S-13,
and four others that are difficult to make out. The photo was taken in 1898.
The measures 6" x 9." The matted photograph measures 7 3/4"

13-443 LARGE FRAMED PORTRAIT OF SAILOR.
This is a period-framed portrait of an enlisted sailor. The frame measures
19 ½" x 15." It is quite ornate, with a black molding infused with gold
scroll work. The image measures 11" x 8 3/4." It shows the sailor standing
in his pea coat, wearing a mutze that says "Kaiserliche Marine." This is
ready to display on your wall.

FRAMED STUDIO PORTRAIT - NCO - AVIATION UNIT.
This is a framed studio photograph of a young NCO attached to an aviation
unit. He is holding a sword with portopee, and his visor cap. His shoulder
straps clearly identify him for being in an aviation unit. The brown wood,
period-framed presentation measures 12" x 9." A fastener is on the back of
the frame, so this is ready to hang and enjoy. The young soldier’s photo
measures 6" x 3," within the frame. The photographer’s name, address, and
even his telephone number are noted on the matting. The photographer was
located in Köln (Cologne).

16-136 FRAMED COLOR
ILLUSTRATION OF AND POEM TO OSWALD BOELCKE.
This is a touching memorial poem to the "Father" of
German aviation tactics, Oswald Boelcke. Boelcke was an
amazing aviator who, at the time of his death in October
1916, had forty confirmed victories to
his credit, and more than triple the kills of his closest
pursuer. With the victories he had to his credit, and with
the better quality planes that were starting to reach
service, had he not perished in the collision, HOW many
victories could he have claimed? Think of "Bloody
April" in 1917, where many of the pilots in Jasta
11 shot down 15 to 25 planes in a single
month!
This framed presentation is in a modern frame, which measures
14 1/4" x 11 1/4," with a light, wooden molding.
Framed within is a colorized picture of Boelcke in his
helmet, with his goggles on his forehead. Below is a very
popular memorial poem. The page, which appears to have been
removed from a book (I see what I believe is a page number),
measures 11 ½" x 8 ½." $40.00 .

40-50 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH - MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN
INFANTERIE-REGIMENT. This is a framed
photograph showing a young soldier from a Mecklenburg-Schwerin infantry
regiment. He was assigned to either Grossherzogl Mecklenburgisches
Grenadier-Regiment Nr 89, or Grossherzogl
Mecklenburgisches Fùsilier-Regiment Nr 90. We
can tell this from his belt buckle. He is wearing a pickelhaube with a
canvas cover, so we cannot see his wappen to make an identification
from it. He is also wearing a bayonet at his side. I n the upper left
corner, stretched diagonally, is the ribbon for the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class. Stretched diagonally from the upper right corner is the ribbon for
the Hanseatic Cross from Hamburg. This leads us to believe that the man
pictured won both of these awards. The black wooden frame, trimmed in gold,
measures 10 1/4" x 6." The photograph within the frame measures 9" x
4 1/2." A hook
is on the reverse. The photograph is ready to hang on your wall or be
displayed on a bookcase.

40-10 PERIOD FRAMED
PHOTOGRAPH - LEHR-INFANTRIE-BATTALION - POTSDAM.
This is a
wonderful photograph of the Lehr-Infantrie-Battalion on parade. The
Lehr-Infantrie-Battalion was created in 1820 during the reign of King
Friedrich Wilhelm III. It was a special training unit which while a complete
and separate battalion was attached to 1. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß in 1895.
So as a matter of course, 1. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß had four battalions
instead of the more typical three of an infantry regiment. Thus the
Lehr-Battalion was actually garrisoned in Potsdam and would have been
assigned to the GardeKorps. It was used for special training and
tactics which might then be used in the German army and to ensure conformity
to the drilling and training throughout the German army. It was quite elite
and was often seen at functions that included the Kaiser. It was a great honor
to be assigned to the battalion. Here, it is seen at the Neuen Palis
(built during the reign of King Frederick the Great) of
Kaiser Wilhelm II in Potsdam. The framed photograph measures 15 1/2" x 18
1/2," while the photograph contained therein measures 8 1/2" x 11 1/2." The
photo was taken by a house photographer. The firm was appointed by Imperial
decree to take official photographs of the Kaiser and his family. The
arrangement would have been similar to the court or house jewelers such as
Godet & Sohn, Wagner & Sohn, etc.
The large photo was taken 5 June 1911. Both the photograph and the
frame are very high quality. I suspect that this hung in the home of one of
the battalion members with great pride.

40-12 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH
- NCO HUSSAR (IN A FELDGRAU UNIFORM) AND FAMILY. This is a simple, period-framed photograph of a
Senior NCO Hussar and his family. The man is also a musician. He can be seen
wearing a feldgrau attila to which a musician’s swallows nests are
attached. While I cannot be certain, I believe this man was a member of
Husaren-Regiment Fürst Blücher von Wahlstatt
(Pommersches) Nr 5. The regiment was initially formed in 1758. It was
garrisoned at Stolp, where it was attached to the XVII. ArmeeKorps. The
regiment was named in honor of the great Prussian hero of Waterloo who
Generalfeldmarschall von Blücher, along
with the Duke of Wellington, delivered the knockout blow to Napoleon, ending
his dreams of European domination once and for all. Without the arrival of the
Prussian Army at Waterloo, Wellington was on the verge of defeat. The arrival
of fresh and well-led Prussian troops changed the course of history. The
photograph of this man shows him wearing an NCO’s visor cap, a holster with
pistol, and a sword. His wife is seated and his young son is dressed in the
overcoat and visor cap of a Hussar, just like his papa. This is typical of the
"Kinder" tradition of young sons dressing like their fathers. Uniforms,
headdress, swords, etc. were all a part of this tradition. The massive, framed
presentation measures 15" x 11." The matted photograph in the frame measures
26 1/2" x 22 1/2." This is a poignant presentation of a young family either
just before the war began or perhaps even shortly after it started.

required on this piece due to its size.]

FRAMED COLOR LITHOGRAPH - GENERALFELDMARSCHALL PAUL von HINDENBURG.
This is a period-framed color lithograph of Generalfeldmarschall Paul von
Hindenburg. It is in the style that was displayed in government offices
while he was President of the Weimar Republic. He is depicted in a late-war
pose. Hindenburg is wearing all of his medals and decorations, including the
Pour le Mérite with Oak Leaves, the1914 Grand Cross of the Iron Cross, etc.
In one hand he grips his interim generalfeldmarschall’s baton, while the
other holds a sword with a Garde Star on the grip. The piece is
attractively done, and ready to hang on your wall.

FRAMED SOLDIER’S FAMILY PHOTO. This is
a postcard-sized original photograph of a family or families of females and
soldiers. It is enclosed in a patriotic frame embroidered in Germany’s
national colors of red, black and white. The frame measures 4 ½" x 6 ½."
Three young women and one older woman, who may be the mother of the four
soldiers, are in the photo. One of the younger women has a small girl
sitting on her lap. The photo is dated 1916. Seated in the center is
an NCO, who appears to be the eldest. He is wearing a 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class in his buttonhole and a large ribbon bar on his tunic. He is also
holding TWO canes, so he was severely wounded. This is an interesting study
of a family pausing in the midst of war.

Frames like this were used as mourning pieces to house the
photos of soldiers who died in their country’s service.
A small silver Iron Cross is embossed on the bottom of the
frame. Inside the frame is a photo of a young NCO. A piece of
the glass is missing in the frame’s upper left corner.

12-255 FRAMED PHOTOGRAPH
OF A YOUNG GIRL.
A most interesting
framed photograph of a young girl (I would estimate her to be
8-12 years old.). I rather get the impression that she has
just attended her 1st
Communion as she is wearing a long white dress and is wearing
a crucifix and appears to be holding a pocket bible. The
frame has a bark finish to it and has a 1914 Iron Cross at
the bottom. The frame measures about 3" x 5 ½".
The photo appears to be from about 1914-1930 but the frame is
actually post WW II as it is marked :Made in W.
Germany." Very touching as it is or another photo could
be substituted if you prefer.

40-350 ALBUMS - PHOTOGRAPHS - POSTCARDS.
I
found these albums years ago on a buying trip to Germany. They are modern-day
productions, but very similar in style to albums used during the Imperial German
Period. I only have a few of them left. I wanted to share them with you as they
are wonderful for housing postcards and/or photographs. The albums measure 6 1/2" x
8 1/4," and are gray-green with a textured finish. Yes, in some ways they are
reminiscent of feldgrau. Each boasts twelve double-sided pages. If you
are looking for an inexpensive way to house your postcards and photos, these
certainly fit the bill.
SPECIAL OFFER: if you buy more than
$200.00 of combined
postcards and/or photographs, we will throw one of these in for free. This is in
addition to receiving the other discounts we are offering for larger orders.
Just let us know that you want one!

Imperial German Air Service
14-202 PHOTO ALBUM WHICH HAS
PHOTOS OF POINTS OF INTEREST IN GERMANY AND SOME AVIATION
RELATED PHOTOS. This is a very nice
small format album which has thirty-eight photos from the
period of November-December 1917. The album begins with
several shots of interesting points within Germany. Most of
these shots are very neatly captioned in white ink. As the
album develops, we begin to see photos of planes and aviation
personnel. We see photos of the planes at the airfields, in
flight, and even crashed planes. Several of the pages of the
album are blank. A very nice starter album with enough
aviation material and personality shots to keep you
interested. $395.00

This is a most interesting album which is a self-contained, French postcard
album, showing the air war from the French perspective. A total of nineteen
postcards is in the album. They can be detached, if so desired. Each of the
postcards shows various aspects of either the French Air Service or troops
on the ground dealing with German planes. This is an attractively executed

38-342 TWO-PHOTO ALBUM SET - HUSAREN-REGIMENT.
This is an amazing two-photo album set for a man who served in a
Husaren-Regiment. While it has photos of many officers and men from a
variety of Husaren-Regiments, the fellow who compiled these two
first-rate photo albums was a member of Husaren-Regiment Königin Wilhelmina
der Niederlande (Hannoversches) Nr. 15. Although nominally a Prussian
regiment, it originally had been Hanoverian. It was assimilated into the
Prussian Army as an outcome of the 1866 war between Prussia and Saxony. It was
a very elite regiment. They wore bandeaux on their busbies for their
battle honors achieved at (left to right) Peninsula, Waterloo, El Bodon,
and Barossa. The regiment was founded in 1803. It was garrisoned at
Wandsbek, where it was assigned to the IX. Armeekorps.
The two photo albums cover a period in this man’s life from 1897 to 1959! The
first volume contains 108 photos. Many photos are of the officers and men from
several different Husaren-Regiments. Many of the officers are
identified in the photos, however, they are not identified by regiment.
One could spend time identifying these regiments and officers by using
1897-1905 Ranglistes. One could also spend time identifying the men’s
uniforms. Many photos show the men in their daily lives, i.e., in the stables,
working with their horses. This is great stuff! Photos of parades and other
activities are included. This is all pre WW I material. It does NOT show
Husaren troops during the Great War. This photo includes several photos
from the 1935-1940 period. One can see the influence of the Third Reich, and
the tradition of Husaren troops. It is all very interesting.
The second volume has a total of 86 photos. They again comprise many different
sizes. Several are large enough to take an entire page of their own. Three
photos in particular stand out. The first is a photo of Graf Ferdinand von
Zeppelin, with a number of Husaren around him. The other two are
large-format photographs, each measuring 5 1/2" x 8 3/4." They depict Kaiser Parades
that were held during 1911 in Hamburg and in Altoona. In both of these
photographs (professionally taken) large numbers of Husaren are seen on
parade with the Kaiser, while many of his senior officers look on. Further on
in the album are photos from the 1920's, as well as many photos from the
1930's Third Reich-era. Then come photos of veteran groups from 1955 through
1959, as their ranks dwindle.
These are amazing photos. You will have hours to enjoy and savor them as you
pick out more and more interesting details.

10-271 PHOTO ALBUM TO A
MEMBER OF THE 1st KOMPAGNIE OF THE GARDE-SCHÜTZEN-BATTALION.
This is a marvelous oversized album to a man ( who served in
the Garde-Schützen Battalion from 1905-1907. The quality of
pre WW I albums like these far exceed war time examples. The
cover of the album which measures 14 ½" x 11 ½"
is very decorative and ornate. It has a Royal Cypher, a
colored regimental standard, and " I. Comp. 1905-1907.
Inside the album on the title page is the name of the man,
Heinrich Warch) and the basic information on his service.
This album was professionally produced and a photograph of
him. Inside the album are professional taken photographs of
the Officers and Men of the Company. There are a total of
twenty three high quality photos (these were not taken by an
amateur photographer with a Brownie) within the album but
most are of a larger format and are on a page of their own.
These larger photos measure 6" x 8" and each are
matted on the page to properly frame them. There are several
photographs of the men in training and at ease together. The
photographs of the Officers are particularly interesting as
they represent tremendous uniform studies of what was worn in
a Garde-Schützen organization. This unit was a very elite
Battalion that was sponsored by the Hohenzollern household
and it was a tremendous honor to serve in it. Included with
the album is a document which has the unit rubber stamp on
it. It is signed by a Hauptmann who was the Company Commander
who states that Warch served well and faithfully since he
entered the Company from 1905-1907. It further states that
Warch was born in 1886. The binding is a bit loose on the
album but with reasonable care the album will offer hours of
pleasure. The images are in excellent condition (except for
the one photo of Warch which could be in better condition. I
don’t often buy photo albums but this one struck me for
the quality and the uniqueness of the Company that it
represented. $395.00

PHOTO ALBUM - TELEGRAPH-RADIO ABTEILUNG. This is a photo album for
a man who served in a Radio-Telegraph Abteilung during the period of
1908-1909. A total of seventy photographs is in this album. Each of the photos
has a written description under it. A fascinating array of photos is in the
album. All of the images are original photos of varying sizes, with NO
postcards. Individual and group photos of the men who served in the unit are
included. One interesting photo appears to be a classroom with a very large
radio in it. The photos of the men include enlisted men, NCO’s, and
One-Year-Volunteers. Some Christmas photos appear from 1908. Even three photos
of early zeppelins from the 1908-09 period show up.

40-289 PHOTO ALBUM -
INFANTERIE-REGIMENT Nr 91 - OLDENBURG.
This is a lovely photo album. Its measurements are 10 1/2" x 8" x
1." The front
cover features an Iron Cross in a wreath and "Kriegs-Erinnerungen." Inside the album is a total of forty-eight original photographs and
seventy-one postcards, for a grand total of one-hundred-nineteen items.
These are my impressions about the album’s contents. First, based on photos
and other information within, the album’s owner was from the Grand Duchy of
Oldenburg. He served in Infanterie-Regiment Nr 91. It was the ONLY
regiment Oldenburg fielded. Furthermore, I believe the owner was a
regimental band member, a lot of pictures show the band or men who were in
the band. It is quite unusual to find something from a musician rather than
just a regimental soldier. Usually, when a regiment had a band, only 2-to-4
percent of its men was involved with the band. No photos show the regiment
in battle. It is more a personal, behind-the-scenes record of men in war.
Most of what I see is early-war. I do not see any photos with stahlhelms.

40-291 PHOTO ALBUM - SAILOR.
Here is a
photo album, measuring 9 1/4" x 12 1/2," that holds a total of seventy-two
photographs. Fifty-five of them are related to naval activities. The
remaining seventeen are, I believe, photographs of the taker’s family at
home. All the naval photographs are in small-format (3 1/2" x 2 1/2"). The photos
include daily onboard and shore activities. After looking at many of the
photos, I believe the photographer belonged to a minesweeper flotilla. Some
photos of Cruisers or Battleships are also included. Nothing especially
exciting appears in the photos. Each one tells its own story, however. They
are well worth studying with a magnifying glass.

photograph, it is fairly early in his reign. He is wearing a general of
Hussars’ pelisse. If you look carefully, instead of shearling at his
collar and down the tunic’s center you will see fur, perhaps ermine. On his
tunic he is wearing a large medal bar, breast star, and a collar for
Hohenzollern House Order. He is also wearing the Golden Adjutant’s Badge to
the Kaiser, so it is entirely possible that the photograph was actually taken
while he was the Kronprinz! It is a very high quality photograph that shows a

20-149 PHOTOGRAPH AND GLASS NEGATIVE - KAISER WILHELM II.
This is an interesting original photograph and glass negative of Kaiser
Wilhelm II. While I am not a photographic historian, I believe it was sometime
around the turn of the 20th Century when glass negatives gave way
to film negatives. (Now that we have digital cameras, negatives themselves are
becoming rarer)! The photograph shows the Kaiser in the uniform of a German
Army Generalfeldmarschall. He is standing on an estate’s lawn with two older
women, and a younger woman accompanied by two very young girls dressed in
their Sunday finest. I believe one of the older women is the Empress. While I
cannot be certain, I have a hunch from the Kaiser’s age that this photograph
may have been taken at Haus Doorn, his exiled home in the Netherlands.
It is also possible that the photo was taken in the last year of the war in
Germany.
The photo measures 1 3/4" x 6 1/2." The glass negative measures
1 3/4" x 6 1/2." The negative
has a crack that runs the complete distance of the negative, from left to
right. While cracked, it does hang together. It needs to be handled with great
care.

40-372 XLL LARGE-FORMAT PHOTOGRAPH - OFFICERS - CREW -
U-28.
This is a consignment item from an advanced Navy enthusiast’s collection.
The large-format photograph, measuring 8" x 11," features the officers and
crew of the U-28. The U-Boot was commissioned in 1913. During
the war, she totaled forty confirmed sinkings. She also damaged two ships,
and took two others as prizes. She was sunk, with all hands, in September
1917. The U-28 had a total of four captains: Freiherr Georg-Günther
von Forstner, Otto Rohrbeck, Freiherr Degenhart von Loë, and her final
commander, Georg Schmidt, who died with all his crew members. In this marvelous photograph the
U-28 is tied up at a pier. Shore
personnel are looking on as the U-28's entire crew (including
enlisted sailors, NCO’s, and officers) gather on her deck and conning tower.
The sailors appear to have been recently awarded the 1914 Iron Cross 2nd
Class. All of the officers are wearing both the Iron Cross 1st
and the 2nd Class. I am unable to determine when the photo was
taken, or which of the four commanders appears in the shot. The very
high-quality, professionally-taken photo is in fine condition. Research
material is included with the photo. Its reverse shows that it has been
removed from a photo album.

it from its Army counterparts, which came in four and eight inch-lengths
(the latter for the artillery). Some sailors blandish naval cutlasses. The

Admiral
Reinhard Scheer (1863-1928) was a leading admiral of the Kaiserliche
Marine. He was the commander of the High Seas Fleet on 31 May
1916 during the Battle of Jutland (Skageraak). While both the
Germans and British argued over who won this battle, Kaiser Wilhelm II
decorated both Scheer and Admiral von Hipper with the Orden Pour le Mérite
(he further received the Oak Leaves to the Orden Pour le Mérite). Scheer
went on to become the Admiralty’s Chief of Staff. The lithograph is
period-framed. The frame measures 11 1/2" x 8 1/2." The lithograph was
produced in April 1918. It has Sheer’s reproduced signature.

Class. She participated in the Battle of Jutland (Skagerrak). She was
scrapped in 1924 by the British. The photograph measures 6” x 4 1/8.” No

CdV - ENLISTED SAILOR - S. M. S. FRITHJOF AND WIFE.
This CdV measures 4"
x 2 1/2.” It shows an enlisted sailor who served aboard the S. M. S.
Frithjof. The ship was a Küstenpanzerschiff (Coastal Armored Ship),
commissioned in 1883. Her duties were to cruise the coast and protect
Germany. She was never intended as a deep water, long-distance ship. She
served until 1903 and was retired. She was called back to service, however,
in 1914. She was again used for coastal defense from 1914-1916 and as a
floating barracks for the rest of the war. The CdV shows a sailor from the
vessel and his wife. He is in his dress tunic (monkey suit). The photograph
was taken at a Wilhelmshaven photographic studio. $20.00 [We have two other CdV’s of this same couple. Buy all three and you can have them for]$50.00

ORIGINAL GROUP PHOTOGRAPH - 30+ MEN ATTACHED TO NAVAL ARTILLERY.
This is just a wonderful group photograph of about 30 men (and one dog). Those
of you who enjoy looking for details in photographs will really like this one.
Start with the sailors who are pairing their jumpers and mutzes with feldgrau trousers! Have a look at the front row, and you will see five
officers and one NCO. You will see a collection of feldgrau uniforms
and visor caps. The visor caps have Navy Officers’ badges and are feldgrau.
That is rare stuff. It is both difficult and expensive to find one of those
today. On the photo’s reverse is a unit stamp for the 3rd Navy
Artillery-Regiment.

40-253 CABINET PHOTOGRAPH - ENLISTED SAILOR - S. M. S. KAISER.
This is a cabinet photograph that measures 6 1/2" x 4." As I have shared with
you before, photographs can often tell us an interesting story about the
people photographed. This cabinet photograph is one of those photos. It
tells us a VERY interesting story. At first viewing, we see an enlisted
sailor in his dress uniform, featuring his "monkey jacket." In his lap we
can see a mutze from the S. M. S. Kaiser. As we look at his
left arm, we see several patches. At the bottom are service patches. The
upper one of the two tells us he was a One-Year-Volunteer. Above that
patch is one for a signalman. Directly above that patch is the most
interesting of all. It is a patch for an admiral. This signifies that he was
on an admiral’s staff as his signalman!
The obverse’s bottom reveals that the photograph was taken in Weimar by the
Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar’s official house photographer. More information is
on the reverse for the same photographer. Even more interesting, is a
dedication in English! As best as I can discern, written in pencil is the
following, "Taken in the war year 1914 for rememberance of your very xxxxx
xxxxxx." It then is signed by the man in Kiel on 7 October 1914.

40-197 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH - MAX IMMELMANN’S FUNERAL.
Max Immelmann (1890-1916) was among the first super heroes of the Imperial
German Air Service. He, along with Oswald Boelcke, was the first of the German
aviators to receive the Orden Pour le Mérite in January 1916. By June 1916,
Immelmann was dead. This original photograph, which measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2,"
shows Immelmann’s funeral procession. His flag-covered casket can be seen
being pulled through the streets on a caisson. A large number of German troops
are in front and behind his casket. If you look directly behind the caisson,
you will note an officer carrying Immelmann’s Ordenkissen (Awards’ Pillow),
displaying the decorations he received while alive. The men also carry a
number of floral displays. Such scenes were reenacted frequently as WW I
progressed and Germany honored her fallen heroes. Immelmann is often
remembered for two reasons. First, an aerial maneuver named for him (the
Immelmann Turn) is still used by aviators today. Second, the PLM was
popularly nicknamed "The Blue Max" in his honor.

SQUADRON COMMANDER HAUPTMANN LEO LEONHARDY.
Leo Leonhardy (1880-1928) was a late-war winner of the Orden Pour le Mérite. He
was a hauptmann during WW I. He commanded a successful bomber squadron, which
led to his award barely a month before WW I’s end. I would like to point out
that this is an ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH, and not a Sanke or other
aviation card. It measures 5 1/2" x 3 1/2." It is printed on postcard stock, yet
nevertheless remains an original photograph. Leonhardy is in uniform, with his
Fliegertruppen shoulder boards very evident. He is wearing an Iron Cross 1st
Class on his left breast. Below that is a Prussian Army Observer’s Badge. In
his buttonhole we can see a ribbon for the Iron Cross 2nd Class,
and the device for the Knight’s Cross with Swords of the Hohenzollern House
Order, which was awarded to him in 1917. At his throat is the coveted PLM.
If you look carefully on his right breast, he is wearing an Austrian Field
Pilot’s Badge.

PHOTOGRAPH OF THE DORNIER DO-X.
This is a
small private photo of the Dornier DO-X Seaplane, which was built by
Germany in the 1920's. At the time, it was the largest seaplane in the world.
It was a high-wing monoplane, carrying SIX engines with pusher/puller
propellers. Friedrich Christiansen, a naval ace and PLM-winner from WW
I, was the DO-X’s chief pilot, who gained great attention. Christiansen
went on to join the new Luftwaffe and became a general in WW II. He was
one of the last PLM-winners to live into the 1960's. The photo measures
2" x 3." It shows a ground crew working on the aircraft at it is tied up to a
dock. I know little else about the Dornier DO-X, how successful it
really was, or its technical information. Some additional information is

16-99 PAGE FROM A PHOTO
ALBUM THAT SHOWS MEMBERS OF JG
77 FROM POST WORLD WAR II
GERMANY. The legend of Manfred von
Richthofen has been an important part of the German Air Force
since he burst on the scene in 1916. He became more revered
after his death in 1918. When the Luftwaffe
was formed in the 1930's, a Jagdgeschwader
(JG) was named in his honor. The men of
this fighter wing proudly wore a cuff title attesting to this
fact. There was also a special cuff title for the men who had
fought in JG 1 with
von Richthofen during WW I. Being a part of the "old
guard" was an honor and a distinction, which Hermann
Göring wanted to make sure was known to all who saw these
men in uniform. When WW II ended, the Luftwaffe
and the German military were abolished. It was not until the
1950's, with the perceived threat of the USSR and other
members of the Eastern Bloc, that the German military was
reestablished. When the German Air Force was reinstituted, it
was equipped with U.S. fighter aircraft. Initially, that was
the legendary F-86 "Saber Jet,"
which fought so well in Korea in the
early 1950's. When Germany was flying again, it was natural
for Manfred von Richthofen to be honored (as he had been in
WW I and WW II) by having a JG
named for him. This became JG 77,
which today is still an important part of the German Air
Force. It is still an honor to be attached to this unit.
Today, we offer a single page from a photo album that has
four original photographs. The first photo shows an
F-86 with German markings and a shield
with an "R"
in it. This tells us, of course, that this plane was attached
to JG 77, the von
Richthofen JG. In a
second photograph, we see an officer giving a briefing. He
has on the wings of the Air Force, along with a ribbon bar. A
third photo shows two officers at attention. Both were
clearly heavily decorated in WW II--one man has two ribbon
bars and one has three! The final photo shows two young
officers along with a wife or girlfriend making a
"repair" to a uniform. I have had this page for
quite awhile. I look at it often, appreciating the tradition
that the "Rote Kampfflieger"
brought to the German Air Force. This man, who flew a plane
that was little more than a kite with an engine 85 years ago,
is still revered and honored by the young men who follow in
his footsteps. $65.00

CABINET PHOTOGRAPH OF GENERALFELDMARSCHALL PAUL von HINDENBURG
WITH
REPRODUCTION AUTOGRAPH.
This is a color cabinet photograph of Generalfeldmarschall
Paul von Hindenburg. Hindenburg was a retired general at the beginning of WW
I. He was called back to service, then went on to become one of WW I’s
best-known German generals. He commanded troops in the East, and was later the
commander of all German armies. After WW I, he became the President of the
Weimar Republic, whereas he served until his death. The cabinet photograph measures 4
1/2" x
6." It is mounted on a matte that measures 8" x 6 1/4."

LARGE FORMAT PHOTOGRAPH - GENERALLEUTNANT ERICH von LUDENDORFF. Here is a

6 1/4" x 8 1/2." Von Ludendorff
was Generalfeldmarschall Paul von Hindenburg’s Chief of Staff from when they
faced the Russians on the Eastern Front at the Battle of Tannenberg, until von
Hindenburg assumed command of the forces in the West. This is von Ludendorff’s
most popular shot. It shows him in profile working at his desk. We secured two
copies of this photograph.

Order. I also believe that he is wearing a PLM at his neck. The photo has great
detail. I only wish I knew the general’s name.

They are dressed in feldgrau attilas and mützen. The
photograph was mailed as Feldpostkarte in August/September 1917. It
is quite obvious that one of the three men sent the photograph. Since early
in the war, cavalry troops fought dismounted in the trenches with their
cohorts from infantry regiments.

This is an original

left are senior officers. It is very possible that the man farthest left is
a general. Both senior officers are wearing neck orders. These could be
anything from a Red Eagle to a Crown Order, or even a Pour le Mérite.
Studying the two men under magnification, I believe at least one of them has
a PLM. Another four men with three horses appear on the right.

MATTED PHOTOGRAPH - SOLDIER HONORING HIS SERVICE IN WW I.
This is lovely
matted presentation of a soldier that honors his service during WW I. The
presentation measures 18” x 14.” It has a plain, beige cardboard outer
matting that surrounds another highly decorated matte, a cardboard
screen-like section that displays the lettering, then another decorated
cardboard frame within the screen section that finally surrounds the
photograph itself. Each of the decorated matte’s four corners displays a
likeness of the 1914 Iron Cross. Between the Iron Crosses on the sides runs
a motif of holly berries and green leaves, along with a high-relief sword
and a shield featuring the Hohenzollern Eagle. The top and bottom feature
green oak leaves, with high-relief crossed cannons. In the center is the
soldier’s photograph. He is wearing a pickelhaube and standing at attention,
in what is a studio pose. A special high-relief cardboard “frame” surrounds
the photograph, which is set on a beige-painted, screen-like material that
is hand-lettered with a sentiment. Directly below the framed photo is
another Iron Cross. The sentiment reads “Im Schweren Kampf und Kriegesnot
hat mich beschützt der liebe Gott. (In serious battle and war’s distress, I
am protected by God’s Love).” Two stars have been hand painted to the left
and right of the photograph. Obviously, it was put together by someone who
loved this soldier deeply. If you look closely this may have been the basis for
a needle point work but was not completed.
A small break appears in the right portion of the matte. It is very
attractive and would make a captivating display.

established Constantinople. To this day a partial Roman gate leads into the

40-367 ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH CHILDREN & ADULTS - GERMAN HOLIDAY COLONY.
This original photograph shows a group of children with several adults. They
hold a sign reading "Ferein-Kolonie Waldidyll 1899," which translates as
"Holiday Colony Forest Idyll 1899." The photo’s back, which is set up like a
postcard, has been stamped with the following, "Edm. Gebbardt,
Charlottenburg, Leonhardtstr. 5." This Charlottenburg address is near the
Charlottenburg Palace and remains been a popular shopping area to this day.
Although it is part of Berlin today, in the late 19th Century
Charlottenburg was more in the countryside. It is possible that a group such as
this could have vacationed nearby.

This is a great uniform study, as it shows some men wearing mutzes and some
men wearing pickelhauben. The officers and NCO’s are wearing visor caps. Have
a look at the Kompagnie commander in the center. He has one Daschund

to a loved one back home. From its stampings, it appears that the men belonged
to Infantrie-Regiment Nr 281, which was assigned to
Infantrie-Division Nr 23. The date on the reverse is 1912, which I find
confusing as this certainly appears to be a wartime pose.

UNIFORM.

It is not a total recreation of the complete uniform, but it is close
enough! He is wearing a tschapka, ulanka, and sword. He even
has a lance with a pennant. All of it is scaled-down to fit the youngster.
The photo has suffered a fold in its right upper corner. The photo of the
young man remains compelling. You have to wonder, did he grow up to become
an Ulanen?

is very decorative and on two sides has furled flags, rifles,
and cannons. The size of the matte is 21" x 17

variation of the furled flag with an Iron Cross. On the matte
is the inscription "In remembrance from the World War
1914-15." This is a truly interesting matte. Regrettably
there is a piece of the lower left corner that has been torn
off, but does not affect any of the motifs or the

the artillery’s flaming grenade. The white bush and his tunic’s collar
indicate that he probably served in one of the Garde-Artillerie-Regiments.

He was killed on 29 December 1915. He was assigned to

S. M. S. EITEL
FRIEDRICH.
The S. M. S. Prinz Eitel Friedrich was first placed
in service in 1904 as a passenger ship. When WW I broke out in 1914, she was
at Tsingtau in China. She was converted to a Hilfskreuzer (Auxiliary
Cruiser). In this role she captured eleven ships. When she ran low on
coal, she entered the American port of New Port News, Virginia. The ship was
interned since the U.S. was neutral at that point. Once the U.S. declared war,
she was converted for use as a troop ship, taking American troops to France
for the fight against Germany. After WW I ended she was briefly used as a
passenger ship again, then scrapped in the 1920's.
This is a CdV which measures 4 3/4" x 2." It depicts a
young sailor who served on that ship. We actually have two of these. You can

40-49 CdV - GENERALFELDMARSCHALL GRAF von WERDER.
Generalfeldmarschall Graf August von Werder (1808-1887) was one of the Prussian Army’s leading generals. He began his
service in the Regiment der Garde du Corps in 1825. He also served
the following year in 1. Garde Regiment zu Fuß.
He achieved the rank of generalmajor in 1863. He fought in the consolidation
wars of 1864 against Schleswig-Holstein, and in 1866 against Saxony. In the
latter war he was a generalleutnant, commanding a division at Königgratz. He
was awarded the Orden Pour le Mérite on 20 September 1866. When war
came between Germany in and France in 1870, von Werder was the commander of
the XIV. ArmeeKorps. He was a central player in the swift German
victory over the French forces, and was awarded the Oak Leaves to the Orden
Pour le Mérite on 18 January 1871. During the Franco-Prussian War of
1870-1871, he was awarded the 1870 Iron Crosses 1st and 2nd
Class. He was also one of SEVEN men to receive the 1870 Grand Cross of the
Iron Cross on 22 March 1871.
In this ORIGINAL CdV, which measures 4 1/8" x 2 1/2," we see him in full
dress uniform. He is seen wearing his Grand Cross of the Iron Cross and his PLM. Further, he is wearing a large medal bar, his 1870 EK 1, Breast
Stars, etc. Along with the CdV we will include an abstract of his
military career, indicating ranks, assignments, and decorations. Von Werder
is remembered as one of Germany’s finest generals. He fought in three wars
that set Germany on her path to glory and recognition as a world power.

CdV - 1. GARDE-REGIMENT zu FUß.
This is an outstanding CdV of an enlisted man
that measures 5" x 2 1/2." He served in the 1. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß.
It was the most elite infantry regiment in the Prussian Army. It was to
infantry regiments what the Regiment der Garde du Corps was to the
cavalry. If anything, the 1. Garde-Regiment zu Fuß
was even more elite, as all princes of the House of Hohenzollern were enrolled
in it. The CdV shows the man wearing an overcoat draped over his tunic.
He is wearing his white parade belt and buckle. He is also wearing his
pickelhaube, with white parade bush, indicating that he served in either
Battalion Nr 1 or Battalion Nr 2. Most interesting of all, on a
table to the man’s left stands his mitre. The photograph was taken at a
studio in Potsdam, where the regiment was garrisoned. This makes a magnificent
uniform study.

garrisoned in Wandesbek, and assigned to the IX. Armeekorps. This was a
very elite regiment. On their tschapkas, the men carried the
bandeaux for "Peninsula," "Waterloo," "El Bodon," and "Barossa." The
CdV measures 4 3/4" x 2." While I cannot determine his regiment, the man is
wearing a feldgrau uniform and a mutze. This is a difficult

Berlin rather than Potsdam, where her two sister regiments were based. All
three of these regiments were a part of the Garde-Korps. The trooper is
seated. He is wearing his ulanka with the dress (banjo style) shoulder
boards. His tschapka with Garde Star is very evident. He is

CARTE de VISTE - SOLDIER. The Carte
de Viste (CDV) was a very popular art
form for young men in the military both in Europe and in the
U.S. from 1860 until WW I. The smallest format of the
photographer’s art, the CDV
typically measured 2 ½" x 4". This particular
example probably dates from 1890 to 1910. It portrays a young
soldier who was a musician, most likely at the regimental
level. The musician- identifying "swallows nest"
can be clearly seen on his right shoulder. While I cannot see
his shoulder straps to identify his regiment, I can
say that this photograph was taken in the studio of a
photographer in Augsburg. Thus, this young man may
have been a Bavarian. The name of the photographer can be
seen on both the obverse and the reverse. $10.00
