Guest Rick Research Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 SSSSSHHHH!!!! Now you've spoiled our "secret!" What color is the backing material?I don't find anybody navy (25 and 12?) so it must be army... and they don't show Silesian Eagles.ALWAYS show me the back so I can do my gnome-work in the Underground Catacombs of the Archives.I'm back after some hours, and as a PAIR, the "pure Prussian" HHOX and EK are hopeless. Without a photo of this recipient wearing this ribbon bar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian L Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 thanks much for the greetings and comments here is the other side of the bar (thanks much rick for the help so far - its stunning to me how fast you are - do you still need the rank lists or do you use your brain while your eyes are closed?) thanks much! christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian L Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 unbelievable is the problem now, that the guy wasn't "brave" enough to get more?christian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rick Research Posted June 26, 2005 Share Posted June 26, 2005 No, there must be at least 50 (I gave up as the list lengthened) "possible" army recipients, with NO way to verify the Silesian Eagle unless they made general and have their portraits showing ribbon bars.It takes a "mix" of awards to trace somebody. "Pure Prussian" is too common.If it had been navy, that would have been easy for me, because I have the Biblio Verlag admirals' biographies, which LIST Freikorps service, even if no ribbon bars show in the portraits. There were very few navy HHOXs and of course far fewer in the Reichsmarine for a suspects list.But army showing Freikorps service, that I do not have....That guy was certainly an Oberst, and almost certainly a General...but WHO????I can't identify these two of mine, either--[attachmentid=4994]the upper one is an (E) officer with only "12," so not in any Rank Lists that show awards, and the lower one is a Prussian/Mecklenburg/25-12 combination that about two dozen officers had, so without finding one in a photo wearing the spindly little Spange and no "flowers" medals... no hope.Same with this Godet-made (note the WEIRD ?M3K wreath!) wartime WW1 bar-- despite MANY awards (and Daniel Krause has one to the same officer with a couple MORE), he had no post-1918 military career and so THIS cannot be traced, either:[attachmentid=4995]At least there is some hope that your bar will show up in a General's portrait!
