Nice finds!! So much militaria at one place. One should visit a militaria fair over here to get that much....original items.
About your letter, it appears you must have al least one missing page.
The pages you show is a regulation that one as to proof in order to get a commemorative medal of the I WW.
That is how I understands it.

Thanks, Stuka! Not all items were at one place. They were actually found at a yard sale and 2 flea markets. It's quite common to find items like these in Pennsylvania....Getting them at a fair price is what you have to work on. But for me, that's part of the fun of it!
With regards to the letter, I assumed there was a missing page based on how the remaining pages are numbered. I also saw mention of the date 12/31/1918, and assumed it had something to do with WWI. I appreciate your help with this! One day I'll learn to speak/read German!!

hey yuengling, you dont happen to know john amato up in meadville do you? he has a shop called j amato and son.
hes a great dealer, very honest and he doesnt mark up his items very much. hes also one of the nicest guys ive ever met. i would highly reccomend him to a collector. i bought that late-war swivel bale rear seam helmet from him that i posted the other day for $50.

Hey OB! No, I'm not familiar with him. I looked up his shop on Google and that's about a 6 hour drive for me. I live right outside of Philly (Hatboro to be precise). If I'm ever up in that area though, I'll be sure to check him out! Seems like he has good prices. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, Steve! Yeah, those rifles would have been a nice find!
The plaques in the first two photos are actually grave markers for US soldiers. This would explain the date on the WWII one as we didn't enter the war officially until '41.
