FOUR down, 1,889 more original photo portraits of 1870 EK1 holders to go!

Dear Gentlemen, I'vo got two more of these. The first one is, as the seller said, is Professor Wilms from Charité Berlin, with:

at his neck:

- Bayern, Militärverdienstorden, Kommandeurkreuz;

- Württemberg, Kronenorden, Komturkreuz mit Schwertern;

on his 5 place medal bar:

- Preußen, Eisernes Kreuz 1870 II. Klasse am "weiß-schwarzen Band" (!!!);

- Preußen, Roter Adler-Orden III. Klasse mit Schleife;

- Preußen, Erinnerungskreuz 1866 für Nichtkämpfer;

- Preußen, Kriegsdenkmünze 1864 in Stahl;

- Preußen, Kriegsdenkmünze 1870/71 in Stahl am Band für Kämpfer(?).

Under them his Eisernes Kreuz 1870, I. Klasse.

This guy was a Nichtkämpfer and got the EK I !!!

Could someone please check if the name is correct to the photo?

Dear Gentlemen,

does anyone know such a cross? It's made of silvered brass or bronce and hangs on a chain of large rings which might not belong original to it as it seems less old than the cross which is, as I guess, about 100 years old.

I think it might be from a "Freimaurer" lodge (pardon, my crappy dictionary has not an English word for this in it, of course). Are any "Freimaurer" here?

BTW, I'd like to sell it to anyone interrested.

Close up? Has someone asked for a CLOSE UP?

Gentlemen, here you are. Thanks for your patience.

PS:

I know there is a lyakat medal missing, will be replaced as soon as bought.

"Always show the back!":

It's again me with Tammy ...

It seems that many many Badener fought against the Turkish in 1918 after fighting with them - here's again one (again, from my father's collection).

At least I think he was Badener, no problem with the Z?hringer without swords behind(!) the "Frontk?mpfer-Ehrenkreuz" ...

This bar is for sure not genuine, as none of theses seller's seem to be, compare http://gmic.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=1569.

Honestly, I'm not 100% sure as the pictures are not that good, but the EK II on this bar might be the one the seller (she's a female, BTW) bought from me on Ebay.de some weeks ago - at least it seems to be from the same strange (and not to common seen) maker.

I just realized he did not get any award from Baden, what a shame...

"Always show the back."

Here's my little bar with device, hope you like it.

I love the details in old photographs, don't you?

Wild Card, your's are again very nice, and genuine

Here's a photograph of a rather old guy (at least for me ) wearing the "Adler der Inhaber". He's been most likely a teacher so he probably had a very hard time and got only this little eagle for it ...

Oh oh oh, got quiet here in ...

I loved to own also one, but many of these are fakes, and others offered are (at least for me) to expensive

Hmm, time changes everything, doesn't it?

Here's my "Karl Friedrich", also 3rd modell 1916-1918, silver gilt. Made by Zimmermann, Pforzheim.

BTW, it was perchased from C. Zeige, Hamburg in June auction ...

I know somebody posted one cased, but I cannot find it!

Maybe you should have tried it here?

And again, it's back.

Could please anyone tell me what he did in WWI, or if he got any more awards?

Last, but probably not least:

The matching ribbon bar old style, worn in Rudolstadt.

And a rather nice Detail ...

It's back:

As soon as you receive the medal bar, it is possible for you to make better photos and post them please. Thanks per advance.

I'm still having problem posting nice and big scans, but I think this might get better soon? At least I hope so.

And, I do not have a Epson 2400

First of all, the medal bar's front:

Hi Saschaw, yes.. sitting on my desk here somewhere.... PM me.

Unfortunally, no need for PM: I don't have the chain, just the picture of it ...

Do you want to see a close up of these?

Unfortunally, THIS has been the close up ...

I guess no chance to recognize anything really

Dear Gentlemen,

Here I can present you a picture showing a group of officers of Württemberg and Bayern, so I think it might have taken in Ulm/Neu-Ulm area. The picture is most likely to be taken in 1900-1910 era, while they were on a "Manöver".

Do you want to see a close up of these? They seem to wear nice orders, don't they?

Nooooo, these Bavarian Medals are not old, let's say post 1945 and still available in dozends, even cheaper then ...

Here you may buy 15 for yet 1,99 Euro:

Eric Ludvigsen's exhaustive statistical survey of Prussian annual awards only showd 59 Red Eagle 3rd with Crown but NO bow ever made between the first one in 1892 and 1913.

Well, it's only about a miniature and, a bow might have been with it in former times ...

(but at least, it's made of Gold)

Did I unterstand right, the W?rttemberger is not yet identified? May we please get a close up of his medal bar?

The last thing seems to be an Baden award on the typical baden "B?gel?se" - might be the clue in W?rttemberg army?
