Odulf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I wonder if that's really a Hohenzollern in the photo. The ribbon under the crown device doesn't look black. You could have a point there, but what other ribbons bear a crown with crossed swords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_g Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 You could have a point there, but what other ribbons bear a crown with crossed swords? Kingdom of Saxony, Albrechts Orden Ritterkreuz possibly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odulf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks for your input here Alan! I cannot find in my books that the crown and swords device was worn on the ribbon of the Albrechtsorden.... (but most books are very obscure about ribbons and ribbon bars) can you guide me here?

Odulf Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks Alan, I know what the badge of the Albrechtsorden looks like, but I was referring to the device on the ribbon bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webr55 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 You could have a point there, but what other ribbons bear a crown with crossed swords? There are a number of possibilities, such as: Albrechtsorden Ernestiner Hausorden Bavarian Military Merit Order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'm sure you already have a copy of this photo, as it was widely distributed, but here is an autographed copy from my collection. It's from a photo album of a former member of Jasta 40, whose final commander was Carl Degelow. As far as I know he was the last person to ever win the military Pour le Merite.Chip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I´m searching for the award dates of Hauptmann Walther Jungnickel. Perhaps someone can help ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ingo, According to Erhard Roth's work, he was awarded the PHOvH3mSchw on 19.10.1918. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Hello Andy, many thanks. This is all, what is known to me. But what was his unit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arb Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Ingo, He was a Saxon officer in Gren. R. 101 when the war began. In the 1914 Saxon Rangliste you will find him at the Unteroffizier Vorschule (he transferred to GR 101 around March 1914). He was promoted Major in 1918.

Ingo Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The promotion to Major was on 18.05.1918. Is this correct ? When he was awarded with the Hohenzollern on 19.10.1918 as an Hauptmann, so the date of action must be in spring 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IR 134 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Jungnickel was in GR 101 the whole war. The action for his HoH-Awarding happened during the Gr0ße Schlacht in Frankreich at the end of march 1918. At that time he was a battallion cdr. in above regiment. PS: sent you a message.

That is a highly unusual type to see in gold (in fact I've never seen one). Can you please share the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
