Language ID ??

[Jakko Westerbeke]

Agreed on Swedish. It’s clearly a northern Germanic language going by things like the -sk ending (where western Germanic languages have -sh, -sch or just -s), the letters with umlauts, and the presence of <å>. Since it uses <ö> rather than <ø>, it’s not Danish or Norwegian, which doesn’t leave that many other options.

Google translate says Swedish.

Well I knew this would be the right place to find the answer. Big thanks to all who helped. My research came up with Danish, but I couldn't get to the point that Paul got to. But I figured Scandanavian at best. Shows you my computer skills!! I'll post a copy of the whole sheet once I get it back from the printers. Some unique samples that I've never seen before. I would say it dates WW1, based on the Mills grenade being a number 5.

Talk later this week....Robert

Hi All: Well, got the original back from the printers. Here is the photo(s) of the remaining "grenades". Some I've never seen before, so I thought I'd share it.
Enjoy....Robert (and thanks for your help)

Here are the remaining 2 on the poster. Again, enjoy.

The Surete du Quebec could have used that poster. Army EOD is long standing assistance task.
