Paul R Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 (edited) Most of these items belonged to my great relative, Wilhelm Reck. There are some 1870 pieces that I believe are from earlier decentants. I dont really know anything else about them. The presentation of this little package perked my interested in my German ancestory... I have discovered a lot, but the more I discover, the more questions I have... Anyway, here are some of the items I was presented... Edited December 3, 2013 by Paul R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 A couple of 1870 items... They cannot possibly belong to my great grandfather as he was not even born until 1888! Maybe they belonged to his father?I have no idea what this cross is. Perhaps it is some sort of commemorative medal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul R Posted November 20, 2005 Author Share Posted November 20, 2005 (edited) Although this ribbon bar does NOT belong to him, it does represent his other medals as per his service record below. I do wish I could find more things that belonged to him such as a photo or even his Golden Party Badge... Who knows... one day.
