Claudio Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) Dear forumites, I'd like to introduce to you a well documented group of a brave German WWI junior officier and observer in the airforce, veteran of the Middle Eastern front, fighting with the Ottoman allies and later a Staff LW officer on the Russian front. We begin with his "Geburtsurkunde" (Certificate of Birth). Claudio Edited March 6, 2010 by Claudio 1

TacHel Posted March 6, 2010 Posted March 6, 2010 Are you the incredibly lucky bidder who won his miniature set and ribbon bars from Carsten Zeige last fall?:o
Claudio Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 @ TacHel: just a preview... the ribbon bar. :whistle: 1
Claudio Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 Back of the ribbon bar... typical Godet Grey fabric on the reverse without any needle system, to be sewn directly to the uniform.
Claudio Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks for your nice words, Frank! Here is the miniature chain.... 1
Claudio Posted March 7, 2010 Author Posted March 7, 2010 Oberstleutnant Falke owned for sure different ribbon bars... on this picture he's portrayed with one row ribbon bar.
