Info needed on 1917 Bronze Statue to Erwin Rommel

[honest abe]

I have this heavy bronze statue of a WWI German soldier on a heavy marble base. The marble base has a bronze plaque attached that indicates this statue was given to "Hauptmann E. Rommel" in 1917 by the officer corps of the "WÜRTTEMBERG GEB. BATT." The bronze with base stands about 13" high, and the bronze is artist-signed by "A. Kaan". This item was found in an antique store over 30 years ago, and a letter was sent to Manfred Rommel (Erwin Rommel's son) at that time asking if he remembered it. He didn't, but said it may have been given to his father and kept at his father's officer's club. Does anyone have any information, or any period photos on the presentation of this statue?

I would say statue is period but plaque added some considerable time afterwards.

Agreed, as I stated in your other thread there are problems with the plaque.
