Thank´s for posting his bars, I like them very much

Hello Rick, I hope You are well ?! The Nachlaß has been sold about ten years ago from a trader in Niedersachsen. and the story can be continued Here is his Befähigungs - Zeugnis zum Unterlieutenant zur See der Reserve

Hello Rick, I´m glad that I could help You once. My source for his lifedates is his certificate of death.

Yes, I mentioned his military rank. I think it is him wearing a merchant marine uniform while he was captain from the Albert Ballin from the Hamburg - Amerika Linie ( Hapag )

as I know that You own his medal bar, a closeup Regards Andreas

As a little thanks for Your appreciated work Charakterisierte Korvetten Kapitän Paul Wilhelm Friedrich Carl Wiehr born 07.05.1868 at Hasenhänge Mecklenburg died 14.09.1942 at Hamburg

Hello Bernhard, is there a name on the medal rim from the Langensalza-Medaille ? Regards Andreas

Hallo Dave, IMO the silberne Verdienstmedaille Friedrich I. am Bande des Militär Carl Friedrich Verdienstordens was only awarded until 1907. Regards Andreas

Hello Chip, it is IR 76 Regards Andreas

Sorry Andy that my request wasn´t precise. I known that it is a reserve officers guards helmet, what I wanted to know was, is it a helmet from 7. Garde Infanterie Regiment. I thought it was Garde-Pioniere or Garde-Füsiliere.

Oberstleutnant Walter Bensberg awarded as Major on 08. Nov 1917 from Reserve Infanterie Regiment No. 207 Regards Andreas

Thanks Andy, does this helmet match with 7. Garde Inf Rgt. ? About 20 years ago I got this helmet with the 399 shoulder boards and an EK 1 14.

Thank´s for searching, now I´ve to wait for further informations from the former owner I'd say somebody "clever" probably took an EH3bX off and "downgraded" to this EH4X. Wadda maroon (as Bugs Bunny always said) in that case. I see that the current Nimmergut "1800-1945" STILL persists in an absolutely moronic undervaluing of the EH4X. Those folks haven't "bothered" picking up 2008's (!!!) Lundström/Krause from Autengruber (or the authors) so... anybody who FINDS one... BUY that EH4X before the Official Bible compilers... notice. Actually an EH4X has been sold on evilbay for 714,99 €. Regards Andreas

Hello Marcin, IMO most german collectors are collecting 3rd Reich then WW 1 and at last 70 / 71. Even more german collectors are on the hunt for medals only a few of us are collecting paperwork too. The common term for the Kriegsdenkmünze is KD 70/71, KDM 70/71 but I´ve also seen Erinnerungsmedaille 1870 /71 before. If You need further information feel free to send me a PM. Regards Andreas

Hi Marcin, the right term for the KDM or KD 70 is Kriegsdenkmünze Regards Andreas

Thanks Rick for giving the bar his name back, You made my day It´s my first WW I medal bar from my federal state Schleswig - Holstein with a name. The Jäger - Bataillon Nr. 9 came from Ratzeburg. Thanks Andy for adding his life date Regards Andreas

Hello Rick, I had contact to Albert Raff, who has published some very good books about Württembergische Medaillen. He has been in archives and he told me, that the lists for Karl - Olga - Medaillen don´t exist. There are only lists for the Karl - Olga - Orden. From the bronze Karl - Olga - Medaille were 603 ordered. I don´t know how many from these 603 were awarded. Regards Andreas

Now, since Rick is back in town, may be the research Guru is possible to ID this Guy
