A Karl Troop Cross is missing (red ribbon with laddered red and white outer edges) between the Iron Merit Cross and the Karl Wound Medal.

There should be a die maker's name "Leisek" on the Large Silver Bravery Medal and "Tautenhayn" on the Small Silver Bravery medal, under Franz Joseph's bust. I can't tell if it's there from the scans. Same die maker "Tautenhayn" on the bronze, but the silver medals-- if bearing the die cutter's name will be confirmed as silver by a microscopic round punch at about 1 o'clock on the two silver medals' rims. It will most likely bear the Vienna Assay Office "A" there. If no "Tautenhayn," they are wearer replacements, and could be from the period.

The Name Tahutenhayn is on both medals, and the "A" is on both at 1 oclock, hard to find. Aswell the Leisek, on the large.

thanks again for the info, do you think I could write them in english, or is it better in German.

And lastly

Its not much, but i really like all of them.

Dan

No One like Kriegsmarine here?

I will try to add as much input into this as possible, and would greatly appreciate anyone else to throw there two cents in.

The Gilt Metal rank insignia is for a Flugmeldeamt {Aircraft warning service}

The bottom sleeve insignia is for Rangefinder operator with NCO schooling.

I will quote this out of Brian Davis's Book

German Uniforms of the third Reich 1933-1945

The Uniform Jacket was unique to the German Navy. It was worn both as part of the service dress and as a summer walking out uniform, when it was worn over either the blue or white jumper with the blue collar warn outside the jacket. As it was an elaborate Item of dress which served no practical function it was one of the naval garments that ceased to be issued at the outbreak of war and only those persons who already possessed the jacket could continue to use it within the prescribed circumstances.

Now all I need is a nice brass Kriegsmarine Buckle and to learn how to tie the Jumper Correctly.

Thanks

Dan

Would this of been made simply for a recruiting poster, or do you believe they were actually worn?
