Hello! Ah, ok. My fault. I thought the ribbon belonged to the cross... But a closer look proofed, that I was wrong. The ribbon really looks like the Prinz Alfons! The cross could be the Bene Merenti, but I don´t see the black edgings of the cross-arms, but that can be an optical illusion. Unfortunately I couldn´t find any infos about awards he received after 1918.

Dear Gentlemen, Presentation of the insignia of the Joint Staff of the French Forces stationed in Djibouti*, homologation G 3150 1984. * Etat-Major Interarmées des Forces Françaises stationnées à Djibouti (FFDJ) From 1984 to around 2010 the "s" of Interarmées was missing, and nobody seems to have noticed it.

I just received this lovely Order of the Sacred Treasure 6th Class, cased. On the reverse below the 6h rivet is the M mark of the Japan Mint, Osaka. The M mark is a nice, strong strike. In just the right light at just the right angle the ribbon looks to be a very, very pale blue. Otherwise, it looks to be a dirty/off white. Gold kanji grace the lid with the “Meiji/Taisho” stylization of 勣 (kun). Unfortunately this one did not come with a rosette. Oh well, you “can’t win ‘em all” as they say. Tracy Obverse: Reverse: M mark up close: Finally, the case lid:

Maaß was in the Fliegertruppe? Which unit? As an observer or pilot? Thanks! Here is what I found out about his violent death: "Aus der langen Liste der kommunistischen Überfälle und Morde an Polizeibeamten seien nur zwei Fälle herausgegriffen. Der erste spielte sich bei den Kämpfen gegen die Rote Armee, im Regierungsbezirk Merseburg, bei Gröbers am 30. März 1921 ab."
