There is still a current debate on how and why George Patton lost his life! Many groups wanted to silence the general who was often outspoken especially towards the Russians. He may have been right~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPjuZkqxyvA

Default The 169th Baden Infantry Collection~~

Finally complete. A 1917 DWM unit marked 169 Baden Infantry with all matching accesories. 169th infantry owner signed helmut, unit marked luger artillery board and German dog tag bearing his name and 169th marked on each. I must Thank George Anderson who in the past years sold me all the treasure pictured below. Jerry Burney build the exact replica of the rare Kasten artillery box. The 169Th had a very famous history primarily against the British. I'll post their history and photographs. Tks~ Please open this link below~ http://www.pals.org.uk/ir169_e1.htm Eric attachment.php?

The grips on this pistol are clearly not original. There are also several errors in the narrative. The Luger Carbine had a 6" barrel?
Someone get an expert over there to edit!
