The missing while enamel was due to my converting the image file…..

Opinions on this one.

Thank you

I too have one and thought it was KMST based on the person who sold it to me. I guess I've had mine 10-15 year.

Chris, are you still out there? Was awaiting more photos of your wartime grey litewka

von Hartz.  

I'll look for the copy I have and post larger.

I like the way the swords are shown on the Bear

Wow ..... You've got to hand it to the German's (of whatever state), they are thorough administrators. Even if you would think that by 1917, they'd have other things to worry about. Anyway, it looks like I'll need to update my library with a copy of the 1918 seniority list.

Thanks Dave, this has been really valuable input.

 

Personally, I doubt von Castell-Castell, who served as a Flügeladjutant to the King of Bavaria throughout the war, received an EKI - diplomatic awards, yes, plenty, as is evidenced by the list above. But I'm not sure why a foreign state (Prussia) would grace him with what at the time was seen as a fairly high award for personal bravery.

 

Anyway, I stand to be corrected.

King Ludwig was awarded and EK1 and before the end of the war Prinz Alfons was awarded the EK1 and I Dont think either was awarded the EK for bravery.

What grade was Otto Graf zu Castell-Castell awarded?

Nice photo Glenn, that’s a nice photo of von Hartz in field gray

Nice

Thank you, I’ve seen a lower resolution of that photo. I’ve been searching for wartime photos but haven’t found any. However, I noticed the other day in a photo posted of generals a man who certainly resembles Hartz
 

what do you think?

Nice having named items.   It’s rare to be able to get much detail on ID’d items from my experience. I really like the Bavarian Bluse with the Borte.   
 

My favorite at the moment is the tunic. I’ve admired it since a fellow forum member showed it to me when he owned it.

Update on Castell-Castell

looking for a Bavarian Militär Verdienst Orden Offizierkreuz mit Schwertern 

Does the book detail how the aiguillette is to be affiex to the front buttons? Which buttons does each section button onto ?

Castell-Castell on the far right 

I’m not sure what is sad about it. That’s a nice, rare, original tunic that was among other Bavarian uniforms for a GeneralLt. One was 1910, one pre ware blue drew uniform, and this Litewka. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get all but was lucky to get the litewka and later another generals uniform to another man.
