    1. The images confirm that the Württemberg ribbon had a device attached. It also seems there was a device attached to the EK II ribbon at some point. I must admit I don't understand the greenish thread protruding under the swords on the ROA/Hessen ribbon. Studying the pics, I noticed that the device on the Reuss ribbon is attached by a thread around the top of the crown. Details on the LW eagles and the swords on the ROA ribbon look a bit weak to me, but I'm no expert on these devices.
    2. Further pics, taken in daylight conditions, as promised. Any comments appreciated. Btw, is it my computer, or the Forum increasingly unstable? Both yesterday and today, it took me several attempts just to open the thread and post a response .... Anyway, it's done now. Regards, Sandro
    3. Gents, Many thanks to all for your input sofar. DonD and Stogie are correct, there indeed are holes for the laurel leave wreath on the Wuerttemberg ribbon - I omitted to point that out n the description, sorry. Stogie, many thanks for the sugestion that the ribbon in fifth place could be Hesse - hadn't thought of that. I'll take better pics tomorrow and post them for further reviw and input. Again, thanks for all of the shared insights sofar. Regards, Sandro
    4. Rummaging through my collection, I stumbled upon this ribbon bar. Unless the ROA ribbon is used to denote a decoration of a state other than Prussia (as did ocassionally happen, I gather), the sequence on the bar strikes me as odd: 2x Prussia, Hindenburg cross, 2x Württemberg, ROA or ribbon used for decoration of another state, Reuss, 2x LW long service. Can I invite views on originality, and if original and identification is possible, can someone please help identify the original owner? Many thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Sandro
    5. Christophe, Great grouping, thanks for sharing. Any idea what the good major is wearing on his right arm? Regards, Sandro
    6. Nothing nearly as exiting as that, I think. It strikes me that Stogie is telling us the ribbon bar is now for sale: http://gmic.co.uk/in...sale-group-one/ Regards, Sandro
    7. lew, You may wish to check out this link, particularly posts 7 and 18. Regards, Sandro http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/topic/14563-double-lifesaver/
    8. Another (if you still need it. Just chanced upon this post). Regards, Sandro
    9. Many thanks Glenn, very much appreciated. Inbetween things, I 've been trawling through copies of the RIR 31 and IR 31 regimental histories to see if I can reconstruct von Wegerer's wartime service. I'll post the combined data from this thread and this search here when I'm done. Best, Sandro
    10. Many thanks for your kind words, Mike. KAGGR officer's tunic, and indeed one of the nicest of the old prussian army. Best, Sandro
    11. Christophe, Couldn't that be a "Garde Stern" on the pommel cap of the good general's M-89 IOD? Unusual place (I'm used to seeing them on the sword's hilt), but then "es gibt nichts das es nicht gegeben hat". Regards, Sandro
