Bavaria – Photograph – Ludwig Ritter Von Gebstattel – Autographed

This is an original photograph of a Bavarian General der Infanterie Ludwig Ritter von Gebstattel. I can find little information on him beyond that he was an Armeekorps commander. He was Knighted with the Military Max Joseph Order. He is seated at a desk and is wearing a M-1915 Feldbluse with no decorations. He is an older man and appears to be in his 60’s.

The photograph is signed on the reverse along with his rank. It is dated “1920″ in Augsburg, Bavaria.

  • DOCUMENT FOR A YOUNG LEUTNANT – SIGNED BY KING FRIEDRICH WILHELM IV – PRUSSIA

    SKU: 19-122

    $450.00

    This is an ORIGINAL letter signed by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV (1795-1861). Friedrich Wilhelm IV was King of Prussia (1840-1850). He was removed from the throne after he went insane. The letter was written in the castle at Charlottenburg on 30 December 1847. This dealt with the promotion of a young Portopeefähnrich to Second Lieutenant. The officer in question was Graf zu Stolberg Wernigerode. This action was taken by Friedrich Wilhelm IV as the head of the Gardekorps. The young officer was attached to 1. Garde-Regiment zu Füsilier. It is a fine early promotion patent to a young nobleman. The format is different from what was used by both Kaiser Wilhelm I and II.

  • TWO OFFICER PATENTS – ONE OF WHICH IS SIGNED BY KAISER WILHELM II FOR A DOCTOR SERVING IN THE KAISERLICHE MARINE

    SKU: 31-93

    $895.00

    We are always pleased to offer you patents (two) for one officer, particularly a naval officer. They are for a medical doctor named Wilhelm Haltermann. The two documents are described below.

    1). Dr. Haltermann was promoted to Marine-Ober-Assistenzarzt on 27 March 1909. The document was prepared at the Neues Palais. The document measures 8 ½” x 14″ when closed, and 17″ x 14″ when opened. It is set up with four pages, although only two are used. Its second page features a large embossed Hohenzollern Eagle.

    2). The second document is set up in a similar fashion. In this document we see that Dr. Haltermann was promoted to Marine-Stabsarzt in 1912. Again, the embossed Hohenzollern Eagle appears. This promotion, however, features Kaiser Wilhelm II’s large and bold signature. At this time we do not know what service if any that Dr. Haltermann had during and after WW I. Any additional information on him would be greatly appreciated from our audience.

    It is a fine pair of documents. As they are to a navy doctor, we can be assured that they are scarce.
