| Summary: | Order issued by Oberkommando in den Marken concerning the confiscation, reporting requirements, and mandatory delivery of finished, used, and unused items made from copper, brass, and pure nickel to support the German war effort. Clarifies which specific alloys (such as tombac and bronze) fall under the order, details exceptions for certain household items (like silver-plated goods or specific kitchenware), and postpones the general inventory requirement. Names ten specific municipal market halls ("Markthallen") where citizens were expected to voluntarily deliver these metals until September 25, 1915, receiving cash payment upon delivery. All inquiries were to be directed to "Magistratskommisjar für Mil. Angl. (Metall-Abteilung) Berlin, den 31. Juli 1915: Berlin 02 Stadthaus, Klosterstraße Nr. 47-59." [Magistrate's Commissioner for Military Affairs (Metal Department)].
