WW1 German Soldier Items (Identification)

#1

Post by diazcalvi » 12 Aug 2014, 17:33

Hi all. I got this lot from Germany. To complement the display of my pickelhaube.
Seems like a good lot. It has a prismatic, a flag, a map, a piece of newspaper.
I need you guys to help me identify what they are. Thanks in advance.
What I mean is, is that prismatic period? The flag was from a household or maybe soldiers used them? What is that book? Or some kind of paperweight made from a card/id?
It includes a piece of wood.. that just looks like a bloody table leg... :| ... but I dont know, maybe you recognize it as something particular interesting
Thanks all

Mixed WW 1 and 1920/30s veteran lot....... Flag is "commercial stick flag" from 1920s/30s (Stick looks like it's AMERICAN-made!)... Prismatic is "homemade", probably period.... (if one guys lot it identifies him). The paper booklet/Poem is for a "Prinz Louispold Kanoniere" (Artillery Regt.)- dates post-WW 1 I'd assume.... Wood table leg is a "Tent pole" section, I believe... from the look of it.

If one guys,.... not a bad lot..... if mixed, then it's a bunch of mostly misc. (and badly damaged) items... (fairly low value)....

Nice WW 1 Breadbags are fairly hard to find .... yours appears to need some "TLC"....

Hope this helps alittle...

Thanks. All coming from the same household in Germany.
From the same guy. The "american made" appearance of the flag puts me a bit off. The poem - I could not find any reference of "Prinz Louispold Kanoniere" (as such) in google. what is very interesting. Its a large book with marks. I will take better pictures. Good call, it could be a tent pole.
What do you mean with TLC? (sorry, not familiar with the term), is a cleaning, a product?
Any idea of the paperweight? (which was not a paperweight but maybe some kind of card, preserved on a paperweight.
Let me take more pics John. I just received yesterday and those pics where from the seller.

Agree with what John told, just let me mention that it´s "Prinz Luitpold Kanoniere".
Maybe you can fin the name of the former owner here on the memorial:

Some informations about Luitpold himself:
