    Kaiser Wilhelm II. Autograph and Funeral Pics!

    Hello Collectors,

    I got a nice old Postcard Album today from a old Lady.She was in contact with a Maid from Kaiser Wilhelm II. in his House in Doorn in the Netherlands.

    In this Album are many Photos and Postcards from the Time when the Kaiser Wilhelm after he flew from Germany in 1918 to Doorn.

    There is also a Postcard with his second wife Hermine. This Postcard has a original Autograph from the Kaiser! and it reads "Wilhelm IR" I asume IR means "In Reserve".
    Can anyone give me a Clue on the Value of such Autograph please?
    Its not my field of Collection and Im happy to pass it further to a WWI Collector.

    In this Album are also privatly taken Photos from the Funeral of Kaiser Wilhelm. I did read that the Funeral was held in a very small a amount of People,Family and some NS Deligations. One Photo shows the dead Kaiser from a very close View.
    How rare and Valuable are such Photos?

    and last but not least, there are 2 Photos with a Wehrmacht Officer and his Wedding in the House from Kaiser Wilhelm,taken 1940. Anyone recognize this high decorated Gentlemen?

    Here are the Photos.

    It's Latin. Wilhelm IR is Wilhelm Imperator Rex or Wilhelm Emperor King.

      Mike,
      Thanks alot for that Info.

      I thought, because te Photo was made after his career (but he always wanted to become KAISER again), he wrote "In Reserve".

      Anymore Info on the rarity and value of such Photos? It seems there is not very much around from the "Exile Kaiser"...also Funeral Photos I have never seen before...because he wasn't liked very much at all in Germany after WWI.
      Regards
      Andreas
