Thanks Elmar for the information. Now the medal is even more interesting for me. I thought that it only was a "Spangenstück" KR Andreas

Hello Gentlemen, I got this cased silver Al Valore Militare medal. The former owner told me, that it was awarded to an german soldier. Is this possible and is it known why the medal has no engraving ?

Hallo Andy, vielen Dank für das Pesionsdatum, dieses war mir auch noch nicht bekannt. Gronau kommt aus meinem Heimatort Rendsburg, ich hatte die Hoffnung, dass er in den Nachträgen der Ehrenrangliste des Heeres 14/18 noch einmal zu finden ist. Viele Grüße Andreas

Hallo Sammlerfreunde, ich suche Informationen zu Boi Gronau Sekond Lieutenant um 1870 / 71 in der Reserve des Schleswig-Holsteinischen Feld-Artillerie-Regiments Nr. 9 . Mir ist bekannt, dass er ein EK 2 für 1870 hatte ( 11.312 der EK-Liste ), Ich suche Informationen über seinen weiteren Verbleib. Er soll auch im 1. Weltkrieg gedient haben. In der Ehrenrangliste des Deutschen Heeres 14/18 kann ich ihn leider nicht finden. Mir ist aber bekannt, dass es Nachträge gibt, die mir aber leider nicht zur Verfügung stehen. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Ihr mir weiterhelfen könntet. Viele Grüße Andreas

And finally his "Abschrift" Iron Cross first class. Regards Andreas

His "award document" to the silberne Spange zum Eisernen Kreuz von 1870/71. You can see that it is already dated on 06.08.1915.

I think this more or less nails it. If you were lucky enough to get an 2nd EK award before June 1916 you got an EK1, and if you were not, you had to get a clasp first. A bit like airlines raising the bar on frequent flyer miles ;-) Hello Chris, sorry I think You aren´t right. I have a document group with these "Urkunden" His iron cross 2nd class for 1870 with original signature from Loen.

Hello Sascha, but if it is an fürstliches Ritterkreuz von Hohenzollern it´s on the right place. Regards Andreas

Tally in wear KR Andreas

Who ? Sorry I mean Lt Col Konok Tamas

Hello Graf, unfortunately I got only the pre 1939 medal bar, his cased Hungarian Order of merit knights cross with swords and two minichains with in germany so called 57er Versions. I´ve shown this things under ma post unknown hungerian order. I think he must been a staff officer and not an unit commander because there is missing a combat badge. You are showing an officer with signature and wearing a third class first grade, but this is not a general I think he is Oberstleutnat or Oberst, I can´t recognize the shoulder boards. Could You pealse show some better scan from the signature and the shoulder boards ?! Regards Andreas

Thanks Markgraf for informations to the war Correspondent Compay. It is unbelievable which informations such a photo album contains. Which uniform is he wearing ? Is it interesting to post further photos ?
