Imperial German WWI Militärpaß – Bayerisches-Reserve-Infanterie-Rgt. 17 (WIA 1918 in France, Earned Prussian EK2)
€45,00Offered is an original Imperial German Militärpaß issued to Franz Josef Lang, a Bavarian infantryman with long pre-war service, extensive frontline combat on the Western Front, and a confirmed Iron Cross 2nd Class award.
A strong, historically rich Militärpaß combining long service, frontline infantry combat, an Iron Cross award, and a recorded wartime wound—an excellent example for collectors of Bavarian units, Western Front veterans, or Iron Cross recipient documents.
Imperial German WWI Militärpaß – Munitions-Kolonne (Verdun, Ypern.. Earned EK2)
€45,00Offered is an original Imperial German Militärpaß issued to Hugo Lansberg, a veteran whose documented service spans the Kaiserreich, the entirety of the First World War, and the immediate postwar period.
Most notably, Lansberg was awarded the Eisernes Kreuz 2. Klasse on 5 May 1917, earned while serving with the light ammunition column—an uncommon and highly desirable detail, as EK2 awards to logistical and support units reflect service under particularly dangerous conditions rather than ceremonial recognition.
Following the armistice, his Militärpaß records continued service from 13 January 1919 with Feldartillerie-Regiment 46, placing him among the transitional forces during the turbulent postwar period.
A highly attractive Militärpaß with excellent historical depth, combining cavalry origins, frontline Western Front service, an Iron Cross award, and postwar continuity. An outstanding piece for collectors of Imperial German documents, EK recipients, or Western Front veterans.
