Hey all, been a while, but I managed to score an uncommon Karl Signum Laudis in Silver with repeat bar and swords.  Got it from a fellow collector (Thanks Mike!).  Nice piece, very happy with it!

 

Best to all!

Then, there are two different dates listed, which I believe are the Spanish award dates: "25. 08. 1939" and "21. 08. 1939". Can you perhaps find out which one of these dates is the correct Spanish award date? At this time Marschall's position was the Commander of Armoured Ships (09 February 1938-20 October 1939).

 

No more information available. Nothing to report

 

Also, you can see that his Grand Cross of the Spanish-Moroccan Order of Mehdauia is also listed. However, the date listed here "31. 10. 1937" is incorrect because you sent me a PDF document which says he was awarded this order on 5 November 1938. Is that right?

The correct date of the concession is 5.11.1937, although the date of October 31 corresponds to the acts in the port of Ceuta, where it would be delivered, noting the concession date a few days later

Of our recent book "Honores olvidados. Las condecoraciones del protectorado ...."

 

On May 29, 1937, the Republican Air Force bombers attacked the rada of the port of Ibiza, reaching the German battleship Deutschland (that breached the regulations of the non -intervention committee of anchoring in a belligerent port) which failed apparently, erroneously with the Canary Cruise, causing a hundred injureds, 31 of them dead. At the beginning of October 1937 the Deutschland was already repaired starting for Spanish waters next to a flotilla of destroyers, being tied between October 31 and November 2, 1937 in the port of Ceuta, where several acts and tributes for the deceased of the ship in May, both for the Falange and by the military and public authorities of the city. Taking advantage of the presence of the ship in Ceuta, at the beginning of that month, Brosch, the German consul in Tetuán, wrote to Tubau, of the diplomatic cabinet of the Alta Comisaria, providing him with a list of the Deutschland staff that should be convenient for the jalifa with la Mehdauia, finally granting twenty insignias on November 5, 1937. The Grand Cross for the Admiral Wilhelm Marschall, head of the German naval forces in Spanish waters at that time; the Commander of number of for Paul Wenneker, captain of the battleship Deutschland, who in 1940 would be appointed naval aggregate in Tokyo; that of the Officer, for ship lieutenant Felix Zymalkowski; the silver medals were for the sergeants Nikolaus Rathmann and Jakob Sehurnn, and 14 sailors received the bronze medal

 

Very good research and information

Just seen this interesting piece of history you’ve got there…

 

I’d agree the item displayed in the old photo looks the same as yours, I can see numerous bits of detail that, pattern wise, match each other.

The main logo, the lined border, the bold writing in the top half and that in the bottom half as well as the area lower right where the signature is.

There is also nothing I can see to be visible on the group photo certificate that does not match details on yours.

 

A real bonus to have found that period photo. Congrats.

hello everyone, I recently started a small collection of papal decorations, pieces of little interest to most collectors, unfortunately they are very rare to appear in the Brazilian market, so I always try to take advantage of rare opportunities, for now I am happy with my Pro Ecclesia et Pontifex (which I assume was granted during the papacy of Pius XII), Lateran Cross in case (Type I) with a miniature (Type II of Saint Paul VI), Bene Menreti Medal of Leo XIII and two miniatures of the Order of the Holy Sepulcher.

The Lateran Cross and miniature

Very nice

This uniform was offered in an brazilian auction that took place in the last few days, there was no bid for it, it will probably appear again in the next auction, in this auctioneer there are always strange pieces together with legitimate pieces, due to the little contact I had with them, it doesn't seem to me that they do it on purpose, they just don't know the experts for it and it's something very common to happen in Brazilian auctions.

Hi Flavio

Use your guts feeling If the price is very low and still in doubts however you like it you can buy it

Not only in Brazil the Auction Houses sell questionable items Either they know or not they try to sell anything on offer That how they make $$$$  I can tell you that I have seen even the most reputable Auction Houses sell questionable item They get away by stating that the items are OK according to their knowledge  The Rule Buyer Be Aware is in place Good to ask the Forum. At least you have better idea for what you will be bidding for

Cheers
