Indeed.... thanks guys. I could probably have had a better chance if I had had them in my hands, on the photos it would have been a tougher call for me.. best Chris -
Side...

Here are 3 different ones... I am not sure about the smaller OR one.. it may be a copy....

I am betting releasing the Marine roll was an illegal move by someone :-(

It is very possible that docs are missing and that it is 2 guys... I just wonder though if it is likely that the cavalry buy did not get the Lübeck cross? I would have thought with the full duration of the war and EK2 that he may have. As it was "all Opa's" with a Photo of a young guy in WW2 uniform, I assume it is the complete families items and 2 great grandfathers.

Weimar time medal bars
Chris Boonzaier replied to Claudio's topic in Germany: Weimar Republic & Deutsche Freikorps
Thats interesting... he would probably be one of the guys who never got an EK... and between the end of the war and the Hindenburg Cross... he had nothing... -
We see the Guy in the Militärpass was from Lübeck... he served 1913-1919, was rated "very Good" and was at the front for the whole war.... There are NO awards entered into the Militärpass, but there is an EK2 document from 1917 for him..... So how does it all fit together? 2 Greatgrandfathers groupings? How likely is it that the guy serving 1913-19, from Lübeck, did not get a Lübeck cross?

There is a Militärpass and EKdoc as well

Hi, This just came direct from the Family, ... I am wondering if it is in fact from TWO Great Grandfather... I dont see how it can be one? Obviously the Lübeck bar is 1930s mounted without the EK2 (Although when I got it the EK2 was mounted on the Blue ribbon and the Service medal was loose) So... I remounted the service medal, and the EK2 is loose now.

Hi, Agreed, the two subjcts (Pass and Photo) just merged because they were similar..

What is the Legal limit in the UK? I think the WW2 stuff is still under lock and key?
