Fabulous stickpin Don. Do tell us more about it. Was there an MG veterans association? Steve

I don't know Steve, but it came with the badge I posted.

A direct comparision of the two badges.

You can see alot of the same landmarks on each of them. And now the reverses. This is neat because now I know how this maker's badge was made without trying to take it apart.

I have not reviewed this thread page by page, so please excuse me if the scan I have posted below (which is unfortunately slightly out of focus) duplicates another item like it posted previously.

Here's a great little WW 1 related envelope from a (Heavy) MG Battalion - note the fantastic (color) MG envelope seal.....

Very nice. Thanks for showing that. Interesting that it is to a Wuertemburger MGSS Abteilung. Usually you don't see the state designator. Anyone else have something like this?

Here's one with a few more of those MGSsAbt. stamps on it.
