Hi Claudius, as he died 1915 most of his orders were returnable, so I don´t think that his medal bar exists complete any more. Regards Andreas

Hello Glenn, is this Key the sign for Kammerherr ?

Hello friends, another one from my collection. I think he is Kapitänleutnant with his medals: RAO 4 Sachsen Ernestinischer Hausorden ? Schaumburg Lippe Ritterkreuz ? I would be happy if he could get his identity back. Regards Andreas

Hello Gents, Bavarian officer with: KDM 70 / 71 RAO 4 Dannebrogorder knightscross A rather uncommon combination of medals Maybe someone is able to identify him ?! KR Andreas

Thank´s Andy, another fate enlightened. Regards Andreas

Thanks Glenn, that is the problem with Ranglists, Ordensalmanach, Hof und Staatshandbuch etc. every state has his own sign for the same medal. Regards Andreas

Saxonian Zivilverdienstorden Ritterkreuz 1th class Iron cross 2nd class 1870 RAO 4th class Dienstauszeichnungskreuz Kriegsdenkmünze 1870 / 71 Hanoverian Guelphen - Orden Ritterkreuz Langensalza - Medaille Austria Eiserne Krone Ritterkreuz Is this a challenge for you or to easy ?

Hello Gents, unknown bavarian general pre 1897. I´m not sure with all awards but I will try to do my best in discribing his medals.

Hi Ulsterman, I read Kriegsveteran and Compentant 1813 14 15 KR Andreas

Hello Jens, could it be an award from the Vererbungsliste from 1834 to 1838 ? KR Andreas

Hi Streptile, there is only a hallmark Dep. on the inside bridge. KR Andreas

Thanks Bison and Chris, that doesn´t sound good. It was sheap, but I have to learn the hard way. @ Bison the Ancien has on his medal bar only the clasp Infantry. Regards Andreas

Thanks Dave

A few years ago I bought this medal bar for my Legion collection. But now I have my doubts that it is a legionnaires bar. The clasp Legion Etrangere is missing. But on the german SDA Forum I saw a photo from an Ancien where the clasp was missing too. Opinions requested Andreas

Thank´s Bernhard, I know that he was in the French Foreign Legion from 1948 until 1958. He was promoted Sergent 1.12.1955 and wounded in North Vietnam 26.10.1952 at Ban Fe Trosc ? KR Andreas

Thanks Bernhard for sharing your knowledge with me I couldn´t find something one the www before KR Andreas

Hello Bernhard, here are all the insignias that went with the estate. I think that on the photo is the insignia from the 3. REI. But as I tried to fix the 3. REI insignia on the shoulder strap I had to note, that it doesn´t fit. Ist was to lathy for the traces but the insignia from the 1. Bataillon de Marche du 1. RE fit 100 %. So I think that they are now ok, but not these from the photo. Andreas

Thanks Bernhard, Herward S. is the shown person. He served with different unit from the french foreign legion. I tried to restore the sholder straps but insigna doesn´t figure it is to lathy. But there was another insigna whitch match 100 %. I know that it isn´t the insigna from the photo but it came with the whole group. May be the shoulder straps aren´t these from the photo. KR Andreas

My newest one came from a family with name Bock. I hope you like it too. Andreas
