EuRob Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hello all and a Happy New Year!! I acquired this chain yesterday. I like very much and have been looking for a mini BMVO4x for a while.I believe all the parts are good but was a bit puzzled by the combo: EK/BMVO4x/HonorC/BLD2. The BLD2 bit puzzles me???? Have been told it would of been for a junior officer but this would usually have BLD1 as these were given to officers and the BLD2 to enlisted men?When I inspect the BLD, inparticular the jump ring, there is no sign whatsover of it been tampered with. Whilst inspecting the piece I noticed that there is what seems to be a vacant jump ring attached to the chain which would suggest that there should be another mini on there. Any help on a possible ID of the missing mini (if thats possible????) would be appreciated.As I said earlier I really do like this chain and in a way its made it even more interesting that there is a bit of a puzzle that came with it.As always your comments and views are totally appreciated.Hope 2008 brings you nicer items to your collectionsRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webr55 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Perfectly fine, nice chain! The BLD2 was given to reserve officers and NCOs alike.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 2 possibilities:1) The BLD2 was moved to the end-- where there should be a long straight pin to fasten that end and apparently isn't one there now?2) in that position what would normally be there on a Bavarian bar is a 1905 or 1911 Luitpold Jubilee medal.Landwehr Decoration 2s were given to all ranks. It is Landwehr Decoration 1st that were only given to officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
