Hello, I just received this Bavarian soldier postcards ( with his Jubilee Medal for the Bavarian Army & Military service III. Class for IX years ) I am wondering if any could help me with the translation of the text in the back. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info Enzo! do you have an idea of how much would cost me one now?

dont worry Komtur, this give an idea of what the document say. your photos are amazing! it is not supposed that the Kaiser's Honor Decoration should have worn below other high ranking decorations? I ask this because in the last photos posted here, the Honor decoration was worn where it fit better.

Thank you very much Komtur!!! it is a nice document, unfortunately I can't read anything of the text. I hope someone can tell us about the number of awarded decorations.
