IrishGunner Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 This artillery officer has a nice little spange; EK2 and two others. I think the second one is a Bavarian MVO, but I'm just as likely to be wrong. The third would seem to be a Dienstauszeichen - but which year and which state? Almost looks Wuerttemberg. Any help?
IrishGunner Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Looking at this again, the cross definitely isn't a MVO - the bottom arm appears more flat rather than as the two-pointed arms on the MVO. The last medal still looks like a Wuerttemberg Dienstauszeichen to me...(could officers receive this?). Could the second cross be a Friedrichsordern?

Hello: This is definately a Friedrichsorden with swords. It is a 2nd Class in my opinion. The third award is probably a Württemberg Landwehr DA 2. Klasse. So, your fellow is a Württemberg reserve Officer. A very nice photo! Congratulations.
IrishGunner Posted February 22, 2011 Author Posted February 22, 2011 Thanks for the info! Now, I have two photos with awards that are not in my collection - more things for the want list.
