Hallo collectors,

I am interested in the opinion about this unit. Roy wrote that it was interesting because MW military regimental markings (minen werfer). I am interested in the history of this unit. Uprising, service, etc.

Best regards Rafal

A starting point would be: http://wiki-de.genealogy.net/Schw.MW_Zug_703 But there is not a lot, it seems.

Yes as mentioned by Julian, this Schwere MW Zug 703 could be start unit, later joined into MW Company nr.320 in 1916. The stamp 42 could be inventory number or Zug number 42.

MW Trupp 703 – GenWiki (genealogy.net) ?

Question is how is the bayonet dated, but personally would be sceptical that the equipment returned from Palestina or Turkey.

[Rafal1971]

Producer - ERFURT and GEBR. HARTKOPF SOLINGEN. There is no production year on the back.

So the piece is 1915, as Erfurt didnt made any bayonets in 1916. Hartkopf is a deliverer of blade blanks and finisher was Erfurt royal armory.

Sorry, I made mistake.

Producer to only Hartkopf and year on back is 1916

Andy,

25 MW was in Hesse regiment

Should be asked Demitrios as this is his piece, the unit is stamped over filed surface, so there was other units in previous life, we dont see other side is there or not any assembly numbers inside of the unit? When not so its a depot piece assigned to unit only, by building the unit in war period. Demitrios has the other side picture i assume.
