    Imperial IOD89

    This is a Damascus bladed IOD89 wih a raised inscription 'to the departure of Hauptmann von Stockhausen from the Officer Corps of the 13th Infantry Division von Herwarth 1880-1897'
    This Division was from Westphalia and the 'von Herwarth' designation relates to a famous Field Marshall who fought in many of the ealier Prussian campaigns.
    If anyone has any knowledge of the recipient, von Stockhausen, I would be most grateful to learn. (apologies for the photo quality!).

      Stockhausen

      Not the 13th Infantery Divison but Infanterie-Regiment Herwarth von Bittenfeld (1. Westfälisches) Nr. 13.

      Ferdinand Maria Wilhelm von Stockhausen; born 5 May 1861 at Erfurt. Entered IR 13 on 1 April 1880 and served continuously in it, including appointments as both a battalion and the regimental adjutant and eventually company commander. On 1 April 1897 he was transfered to the newly formed Infaterie-Regiment Nr. 158 followed by the assignment as divisional adjutant to the 21. Division. A Major since 18 June 1903, he became a battalion commander in Füsilier-Regiment Nr. 80 on 22 April 1905. Promoted to Oberstleutnant on 20 April 1910 and to Oberst on 22 March 1913, he became commander of Oldenburgisches Infanterie-Regiment Nr. 91 on the same date. He briefly commanded 40. Infanterie-Brigade from 16 September to 14 November 1914 followed by command of the 91. Reserve-Infanterie-Brigade. A Generalmajor since 18 August 1915, he was killed in action on 14 December 1915.
