A grouping of Pictures and Award Certificates

[Farkas]

Hi Gents

i’ve just bought this little bunch... 

I just felt they should be kept together which they will.

i’d normally wait to receive them before sharing but i’m really curious about the certificates in particular 

They are performance awards but different perhaps? 

I’m hoping someone may tell if this style is common place or unusual?

All thoughts welcome Gents....

I’ll post my own pics once I receive them but any thoughts most welcome in the meantime....

i can see a family connection and the musketeer seems to have won some awards c1900 and then presumably ‘enjoyed’ being recalled for WK1, also then  serving a son or family member.

Of course, being an optimist I’d like to think the Kaiser and Empress signatures might be ‘real’.

This signature is a printed example from a published fund raising card.....
