My grandmother, Camillia Biehn FONK, gave me an uniform brush as follows:

Wood & Horsehair uniform brush. Inscribed on the back:

Zum Andenken
von meinem Bruder Peter gefreiter bei
der 10th Comp. 17 Inftr. Regiment in Wesel
1858

German to English translation
In memory of my brother, Peter, corporal in the 10th Comp. 17 Inftr. Regiment in Wesel
1858

Within the brush bristles is the inscription “HERMANN BERNS”
Does this help any?
