Need help! 1st Reich 1900 Photo

I have a photograph taken by W. Berger in Ban St. Martin - Metz., France. The photo is in perfect condition. The wording at the bottom of the photo is "Zer Erinnerung an die Reserve-Ubond in Xete 1900 b.d.5. Corp. Jnt. Regt, 174."

My questions are . . . Is there any significance to this photo? If so, is it worth anything? Where would I find additional info about this photo, photographer, etc?

Please email me with any suggestions - brendamiller1119@sbcglobal.net. Thank you.

Luftschutz Helmet with pictures

I'm new to the forum but not new to militaria. I picked up up fist German helmet at a yardsale this weekend. Its a Luftschutz in great shape. German helmets are rare in my area. This one was a vet bring back and not messed with. It is 3 piece. Whats different about it is the rivets and the liner are different than my friends. If you look it has slotted rivets and a higher quality liner with a leather pad at the top of the helmet. There again all are original to the helmet and I didnt paid much for it. Any ideas from the experts on here. Is it early war? And who do you think made it? Heres some pictures:









What do the experts think?
Thank you,
Michael

Inheritance

Hi there, I've used Ebay to buy online before and about 98% of the time I've always been happy with my purchase. I'm thinking about selling this short sword that I acquired through inheritance via Ebay or Craig's List. I have no use for it, so I think someone who actually gives a damn about it should own it. I don't know what to price it at, does anyone know where to go to get it surveyed? It's definitely not cheap, but I don't wanna rip myself off with charging too low. Random I know, but any input would be nice. Thanks xx
